Air source heat pumps in Mountain Street, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for ageing boilers that will need replacing and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Mountain Street, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Air source heat pumps around Mountain Street
The centre of Mountain Street lies within a conservation area. Historic England lists about 49 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Mountain Street, including Church of St Mary (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which typically handles Mountain Street where necessary. About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.

FAQs for Mountain Street
Is the heat pump grant available in Mountain Street?
Mountain Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Mountain Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.

Common problems we fix in Mountain Street
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What to look for in a quote
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
