Air source heat pumps in Halls Green, done properly
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. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We are often asked to deal with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a place like Halls Green, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: 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.
What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Advice
Homes in Halls Green and heat pumps
The middle of Halls Green is part of the Nazeing and South Roydon Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Halls Green. Hill Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 5 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Halls Green’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Epping Forest council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Common questions in Halls Green
Do you cover smaller places like Halls Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Halls Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Halls Green is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange one.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
