Air source heat pumps in Burpham, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We’re often asked to deal with finding a place for the outdoor unit and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
If your home near Burpham has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Burpham
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The size of the job
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. 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, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

What a heat pump looks like in Burpham
About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Clandon Park about 1.7 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Church of the Holy Spirit may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Burpham can be done in one go where possible.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.

- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it can’t replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Burpham questions
Is a heat pump in Burpham permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Burpham holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Guildford council, typically the authority for Burpham.
Will you come out to Burpham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
