Air source heat pumps in Henley Street, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. 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. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
For a home around Henley Street that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Henley Street.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Heat pumps in Henley Street: local notes
Henley Street is about 23 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 70% of homes in the Henley Street area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 89% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
For a home near Sole Street station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Live in one of the older houses around Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Before you call an engineer
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. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Looking after your system
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Henley Street: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Henley Street?
Henley Street is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Henley Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Henley Street is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
