System by system
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Conford
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Conford, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Conford.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

What a heat pump looks like in Conford
About 42 miles out from central London, Conford is part of the South East area we work across. The 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Grant applications go through the MCS certified installer, so that part is handled for you.
Conford is about 2 miles south-east of Bordon, in Hampshire. Properties in Conford get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Conford is one of them. Guildford, roughly 15 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Our nearest recent job to Conford was on Petworth Road, Haslemere (GU27), about 5 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving the master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the basement games room.

Why deal with it now?

Planning ahead for a job in Conford means we can bring everything needed.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Conford: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Conford?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Conford, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Conford within the area you cover?
Yes. Conford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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 electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
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.”
