How we handle air source heat pumps in Norwood New Town
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, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are finding a place for the outdoor unit and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Terraced houses in a London area like Norwood New Town can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Norwood New Town before visiting.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Air source heat pumps in Norwood New Town: the local picture
About 55% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). 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. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Homeowners near Gipsy Hill station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. If your home is listed, like Kingswood House about 0.8 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Different systems, different jobs
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter and we check what applies to you.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Norwood New Town questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Norwood New Town?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Norwood New Town?
Norwood New Town 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
