Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Farncombe
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 doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We are often asked to deal with planning and permitted development questions and not knowing whether a grant applies, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Whether a home near Farncombe has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Farncombe
Will a heat pump in Farncombe need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 30 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Farncombe. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Waverley council, which is normally the planning authority for Farncombe.
Do you cover smaller places like Farncombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Farncombe and across Surrey. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify and other conditions apply.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
