Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Grove Park
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, and 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 air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Homes in Grove Park are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep to regular servicing
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Grove Park questions
Is a heat pump in Grove Park permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Grove Park is in the Chiswick House Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Hounslow council, typically the authority for Grove Park.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Grove Park?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Are my radiators big enough for 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What a heat pump looks like in Grove Park
About 43% of homes in the Grove Park area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 58% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If you live near Chiswick station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Live in one of the older houses around St Paul's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Grove Park early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
