Air source heat pumps in Chobham
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for ageing boilers that will need replacing and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home near Chobham 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, 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. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Chobham.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Chobham
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Before booking anyone

- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Questions from Chobham
Do you cover smaller places like Chobham?
Yes. Chobham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the heat pump grant available in Chobham?
Chobham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What a heat pump looks like in Chobham
Chobham’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Chobham Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 37 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Chobham; Church of St Lawrence (grade I) is one. 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 81% 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.
Period properties close to Church of St Lawrence can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
