How we handle air source heat pumps in Kiln Green
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Kiln Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Kiln Green is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749.

- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The application goes through the installer.
Questions from Kiln Green
Can I fit a heat pump in Kiln Green without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Kiln Green. 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 the local planning authority (for Kiln Green, normally Wokingham council) first.
Will you come out to Kiln Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home with an MCS certified installer.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
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.
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. Both are part of what we install.
What we’re called out for in Kiln Green
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Harleyford Manor, roughly 3.8 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
