About our air source heat pumps in Stebbing
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Stebbing, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, 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.

Air source heat pumps in Stebbing: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes in Stebbing and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around United Reformed Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stebbing
Do you cover smaller places like Stebbing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Stebbing?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Stebbing Conservation Area is close to the centre of Stebbing. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Stebbing, normally Uttlesford council).
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Stebbing and across Essex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to book it.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What affects the quote in Stebbing
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- How many units are involved
- What electrical work the job needs
- The equipment or parts the job needs
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Your installation or service records
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near Stebbing is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
