Air source heat pumps in Stuppington, done properly
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, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
For a home around Stuppington 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Why act early in Stuppington
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Common questions in Stuppington
Is the heat pump grant available in Stuppington?
Stuppington is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Stuppington?
Yes. Stuppington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, 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.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What a heat pump looks like in Stuppington
There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Stuppington. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stuppington, including Merton Farmhouse (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Canterbury City council, which usually handles Stuppington where necessary. About 53 miles out from central London, Stuppington is part of the South East area we work across.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Older homes near Church of St Nicholas may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
