Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stoke D'Abernon
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 does not apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Stoke D'Abernon that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stoke D'Abernon
Is a heat pump in Stoke D'Abernon permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Stoke D'Abernon Conservation Area, close to central Stoke D'Abernon. 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 don’t 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 Elmbridge council, normally the authority for Stoke D'Abernon.
Is Stoke D'Abernon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Stoke D'Abernon around you.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

What a heat pump looks like in Stoke D'Abernon
The last census (2021) found about 85% 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.
Homeowners near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Historic houses such as The Homewood, about 2 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
