Air source heat pumps in Little London
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. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
Homes around Little London typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Common problems we fix in Little London
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Boarstall Tower, roughly 1.7 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Common questions in Little London
Is the heat pump grant available in Little London?
Little London is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Little London?
Yes. Little London is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Homes in Little London and heat pumps
Church of St Mary, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Little London’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (usually Buckinghamshire council). The last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Why act early in Little London
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
