Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stanswood
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. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
In a place like Stanswood, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
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.

What else we do in Stanswood
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The pipe route between the units
- What kind of system it is
- The number of rooms, units or zones
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. 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. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Stanswood.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.

Advice
Homes in Stanswood and heat pumps
At about 1 mile from the coast, Stanswood is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Census 2021 figures found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Osborne House lies about 4.8 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near St George, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Stanswood questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Stanswood?
It can. Stanswood is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is the heat pump grant available in Stanswood?
Stanswood is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
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 we confirm the timing with your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stanswood
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 before you need the heat. An early booking makes the visit to Stanswood easier to arrange.
