Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Burn's Green
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Older and listed homes in villages like Burn's Green need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Burn's Green
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Burn's Green
Is Burn's Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Burn's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Burn's Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Burn's Green holds about 16 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Burn's Green, normally East Hertfordshire council).
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. If a lane or gateway near Burn's Green is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Aston Bury, roughly 2.1 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before booking

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
