About our air source heat pumps in Sarsden
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. Typical jobs include ageing boilers that will need replacing and planning and permitted development questions, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Sarsden need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Why deal with it now?
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. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Sarsden can be planned properly.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Sarsden?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Period properties close to Church of St James can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Sarsden
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Sarsden?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Sarsden 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Sarsden within the area you cover?
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.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
