Air source heat pumps in Burnt Heath
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can help.
For a home around Burnt Heath that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, 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.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Burnt Heath.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Homes in Burnt Heath and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes across Burnt Heath and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Burnt Heath is about 55 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
With Castle House about 2.6 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?

Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
