About our air source heat pumps in Mark Hall South
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If you’re dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Homes around Mark Hall South typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It can’t be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.

Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Booking before summer means the work near Mark Hall South is done before the hot weather.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Mark Hall South can typically be finished in one visit.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
What affects the quote in Mark Hall South
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What state the existing equipment is in
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, 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 on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air source heat pumps in Mark Hall South: the local picture
Mark Hall South’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Mark Hall North Conservation Area. 5 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Mark Hall South. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 12 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Harlow council, which normally handles Mark Hall South before the heat pump design is finished. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 73% of homes in the Mark Hall South area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 48% of households in terraced houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Andrew's Methodist Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Mark Hall South questions
Will you come out to Mark Hall South?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Mark Hall South?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Mark Hall South 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Mark Hall South and across Essex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before we start.
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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
