Air source heat pumps in Kingsland
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 are often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a flat in Kingsland, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
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.

Kingsland questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Kingsland?
Kingsland 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Kingsland?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Does servicing affect my 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.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What happens if it’s left?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Getting the work done in Kingsland before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
What a heat pump looks like in Kingsland
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes across Kingsland and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder normally has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Dalston Junction station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Older homes near Holy Trinity Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Diary the next service
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Kingsland in advance.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
