How we handle air source heat pumps in Stoke Hammond
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. If the problem is checking emitters for a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.
For a home around Stoke Hammond that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Any radiator changes are set out in the quote, so you know the full scope.
Questions from Stoke Hammond
Is a heat pump in Stoke Hammond permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Stoke Hammond Conservation Area, close to central Stoke Hammond. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Stoke Hammond.
Will you come out to Stoke Hammond?
Yes. Stoke Hammond is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- Emergency calls taken 24/7
- F-Gas company certification
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Stoke Hammond around you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
