Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bushey Heath
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not 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. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are not knowing whether a grant applies and no space for a hot water cylinder.
Homes around Bushey Heath usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the visit to Bushey Heath from the survey or your pictures.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Bushey Heath questions
Will you come out to Bushey Heath?
Yes. Bushey Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Bushey Heath?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bushey Heath, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Book a yearly service
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Radiator systems

Homes in Bushey Heath and heat pumps
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Bushey Heath, you reach the Bushey Heath The Lake Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Bushey Heath and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 20 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bushey Heath, including Church of St Peter (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Hertsmere council) where needed. About 41% of homes across Bushey Heath and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
Historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 2.8 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
