Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Swan Bottom
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. We’re often asked to deal with checking emitters for a heat pump and not knowing whether a grant applies, on hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
For a home around Swan Bottom 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.
FAQs for Swan Bottom
Can you do air source heat pumps in Swan Bottom?
Yes. Swan Bottom is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Swan Bottom?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if 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.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. It does not apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
