Clifton Hampden questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Clifton Hampden?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Clifton Hampden, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Clifton Hampden?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
About our air source heat pumps in Clifton Hampden
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are finding a place for the outdoor unit and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
If your home in or near Clifton Hampden is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes, and we apply for it as the installer.
When to call us in Clifton Hampden
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Older homes near Church of St Michael and All Angels may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it

The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Clifton Hampden easier.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

What a heat pump looks like in Clifton Hampden
The 2021 Census found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Clifton Hampden’s centre falls inside the Clifton Hampden Conservation Area. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Clifton Hampden. Church of St Michael and All Angels, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 26 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Clifton Hampden’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with South Oxfordshire council, usually the planning authority here.
With Clifton Hampden Manor about 0.1 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
