Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Whitehill
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and checking whether planning permission is needed, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home near Whitehill has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Whitehill.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

After we have gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep to regular servicing
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a heat pump looks like in Whitehill
Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Whitehill is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Older homes near St Mark's Sacred Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Whitehill
Will you come out to Whitehill?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Whitehill?
Yes, Whitehill is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
