How we handle air source heat pumps in High Barnet
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. 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. This is general information, not tax advice. If the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
Homes in High Barnet are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Before a visit in High Barnet, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Any radiator changes are set out in the quote, so you know the full scope.

FAQs for High Barnet
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in High Barnet?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually 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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in High Barnet?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: High Barnet is in England, where it applies. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in High Barnet and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Air source heat pumps in High Barnet: the local picture
About 42% of homes in High Barnet and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Period properties close to Christ Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor, about 2.9 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
