What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Graveley.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Graveley
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are checking emitters for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder.
For a home around Graveley that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 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. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Questions from Graveley
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Graveley?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Graveley sits inside the Graveley Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with North Hertfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Graveley first.
Do you cover smaller places like Graveley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. It does not apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone us on 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.
