Air source heat pumps in Ibworth
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, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We are often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and no space for a hot water cylinder, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Ibworth, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a village like Ibworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a price
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.
Advice
What affects the quote in Ibworth
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How easy the units are to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Air source heat pumps in Ibworth: the local picture
About 40% of homes in the Ibworth area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. At about 50 miles from central London, Ibworth sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. If your home is listed, like The Vyne about 4.8 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Ibworth questions
Is Ibworth within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ibworth?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Ibworth is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Seal draughts where you can
- Find out the grant position at the survey
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 so we set the controls up with you.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. An early booking makes the visit to Ibworth easier to arrange.
