How we handle air source heat pumps in Ash
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about checking whether planning permission is needed and working out where a cylinder could go.
Cottages and older homes near Ash can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ash
Is a heat pump in Ash permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 13 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Ash. 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 Guildford council, which is typically the planning authority for Ash.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ash?
Ash is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to book it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep to regular servicing
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Common problems we fix in Ash
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Planning and permitted development questions
If your home is listed, like Wanborough Manor about 2.7 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Ash can normally be finished in one visit.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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 are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
