Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Tulse Hill
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. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Tulse Hill can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Some blocks in Tulse Hill need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.

What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. 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.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Heat pumps in Tulse Hill: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 46% of homes in Tulse Hill and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If your home is one of the older properties near Holy Trinity Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. For a home near Tulse Hill station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Tulse Hill: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Tulse Hill?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Tulse Hill sits inside the Brockwell Park Conservation Area. 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 the planning department at Lambeth council, normally the authority for Tulse Hill.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Tulse Hill?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Tulse Hill, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Is Tulse Hill in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Tulse Hill included.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
