Air source heat pumps in Broxbourne, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, across radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a house near Broxbourne, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common questions in Broxbourne
Is a heat pump in Broxbourne permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Broxbourne is a short walk from the Broxbourne Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with Broxbourne council, which is typically the planning authority for Broxbourne.
Is the heat pump grant available in Broxbourne?
Broxbourne is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off.

After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
