Air source heat pumps in Erriottwood, done properly
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. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and a boiler that’s getting old, we can sort it out.
For a home around Erriottwood that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Find out the grant position at the survey
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Heat pumps in Erriottwood: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 35% of homes in and around Erriottwood before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. In the mile around Erriottwood’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Yew Tree Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Erriottwood’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter and St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Erriottwood
Do you cover smaller places like Erriottwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Erriottwood?
Erriottwood is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Hot water cylinders
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Radiator systems
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Underfloor heating
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Erriottwood, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Related advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Erriottwood?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Belmont House and Gardens, roughly 3.4 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Before booking anyone
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
