How we handle air source heat pumps in West Ashling
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 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. Typical jobs include radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near West Ashling is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, 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.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
West Ashling: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like West Ashling?
Yes. West Ashling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in West Ashling?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: West Ashling is in England, where it applies. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Not every home qualifies, so we check before you commit.
What a heat pump looks like in West Ashling
The 2021 Census found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central West Ashling, you reach the West Ashling Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of West Ashling and it takes in 3 conservation areas. The Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 19 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around West Ashling’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What we are called out for in West Ashling
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
With West Dean House about 4.6 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a village like West Ashling, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
