About our air source heat pumps in Wanshurst Green
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and 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 deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Wanshurst Green 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, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we’re called out for in Wanshurst Green
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
What we’re most often called about:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If your home is one of the older properties near St Michael and All Angels Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
Wanshurst Green questions
Can I fit a heat pump in Wanshurst Green without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Wanshurst Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Maidstone council, normally the authority for Wanshurst Green first.
Is Wanshurst Green within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Quite possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

What affects the quote in Wanshurst Green
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- What state the existing equipment is in
- What kind of system it is
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The fuse board and where it is in the property

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Wanshurst Green.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.

Advice
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Heat pumps in Wanshurst Green: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 36% of homes across Wanshurst Green and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
