What we are called out for in Ashton Green
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What your quote should include
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
Air source heat pumps in Ashton Green, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are planning and permitted development questions and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
In a place like Ashton Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. For a village like Ashton Green, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Ashton Green
Pricing air source heat pumps in Ashton Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Common questions in Ashton Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ashton Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Ashton Green 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Ashton Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Ashton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What a heat pump looks like in Ashton Green
About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ashton Green, Arches Farmhouse (grade II) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Glyndebourne lies about 1 mile south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
