How we handle air source heat pumps in Hacton
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 does not apply to 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 checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out where a cylinder could go, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
Terraced houses in a London area like Hacton can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Hacton: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hacton?
Hacton 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Hacton?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you cover Hacton?
Yes. Hacton is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Booking in spring means a home or office in Hacton is ready before the first hot week.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why people in Hacton choose us
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires

Homes in Hacton and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 42% of homes in Hacton and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is listed, like Rainham Hall about 2.1 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near St Matthews Church Hall, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

How we price air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. For a job in Hacton, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
