About our air source heat pumps in Charleshill
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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
In a place like Charleshill, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

What a heat pump looks like in Charleshill
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Questions from Charleshill
Is Charleshill within the area you cover?
Yes. Charleshill 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Charleshill?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Charleshill. 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 the local planning authority (for Charleshill, usually Waverley council).
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Charleshill, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
