Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Haverstock
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. 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 radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Terraced houses in a London area like Haverstock can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If your building in Haverstock has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
Haverstock questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Haverstock?
Haverstock is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Haverstock?
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.
Is Haverstock in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Haverstock included.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.

What else we do in Haverstock
Air source heat pumps in Haverstock: the local picture
VOA council tax data put about 46% of homes in Haverstock and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 86% of households live in flats. 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. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near South Hampstead station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Keats House lies about 0.8 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Why act early in Haverstock
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Haverstock early.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
