Air source heat pumps in Crowell
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 are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Crowell, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Crowell
Do you cover smaller places like Crowell?
Yes. Crowell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Crowell?
Crowell is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Crowell are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.

Before you call an engineer
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 cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
After we’ve gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Homes in Crowell and heat pumps
2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Crowell. Historic England lists about 20 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Crowell, including Ellwood House (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at South Oxfordshire council, which normally handles Crowell. About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Adwell House about 2.9 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What a customer said
“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.”
