About our air source heat pumps in Hipley
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. This is general information, not tax advice. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Homes around Hipley usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Leave it or put it right?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Air source heat pumps around Hipley
Hipley is about 61 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 43% of homes in and around Hipley have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Common questions in Hipley
Can you do air source heat pumps in Hipley?
We do: Hipley falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
Is Hipley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hipley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone 07833 053749 to book it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.

We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first.

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
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.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
