Air source heat pumps in Hassell Street, 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. 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 homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
Older and listed homes in villages like Hassell Street need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, 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 explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Hassell Street: your questions answered
Is a heat pump in Hassell Street permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Hassell Street is in a conservation area. 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 the local planning authority (for Hassell Street, usually Ashford council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Hassell Street?
Hassell Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your installation or service records
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we’re MCS certified. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep radiators clear
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Hassell Street around you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
