FAQs for Lower Bush
Will you come out to Lower Bush?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Lower Bush permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Lower Bush is a short walk from the Upper Bush Conservation Area. 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 planning department at Medway council, normally the authority for Lower Bush first.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you protect the property while you work?
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.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Air source heat pumps in Lower Bush
We install air source heat pumps in Lower Bush and across Medway, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Homes around Lower Bush normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
