About our air source heat pumps in Hundridge
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 doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
If your home in or near Hundridge is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Questions from Hundridge
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hundridge?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Hundridge holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Buckinghamshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Hundridge first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hundridge?
Hundridge 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How we price air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
For air source heat pumps in Hundridge, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the trip to Hundridge around you.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Hundridge
The last census (2021) found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Cholesbury Manor House about 3.4 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
