How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Well Street
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. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Well Street, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What else we do in Well Street
Well Street: your questions answered
Is Well Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Well Street?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Well Street is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights, so we check during the survey.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Safe owner checks
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Homes in Well Street and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes in and around Well Street were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Well Street’s centre falls inside the Mill Street, East Malling Conservation Area. In the mile around Well Street’s centre, 6 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St James, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 42 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Well Street’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
With Old Soar Manor about 4.9 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to Church of St James can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
