How we handle air source heat pumps in Granborough
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Granborough, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Heat pumps in Granborough: local notes
About 68% 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.
With Claydon House about 2.9 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Granborough questions
Is Granborough within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Granborough without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Granborough holds about 17 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Granborough.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
What we’re called out for in Granborough
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What to look for in a quote
