Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Soberton Heath
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. This is general information, not tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Soberton Heath, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

System by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit 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. We plan the trip to Soberton Heath around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Soberton Heath questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Soberton Heath?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Soberton Heath is in England, where it applies. 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Soberton Heath?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Soberton Heath. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Winchester City council, typically the authority for Soberton Heath.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you work in Soberton Heath?
Yes. Our engineers work in Soberton Heath, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Soberton Heath
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
