Common questions in Compton
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Compton?
Compton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Compton
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking whether planning permission is needed.
In a place like Compton, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. If a lane or gateway near Compton is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Compton
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. 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.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What your quote should include
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Compton and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Air source heat pumps in Compton: the local picture
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Compton, you reach the Compton Conservation Area. In the mile around Compton’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St Nicholas, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 24 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Compton’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? The 2021 Census found about 62% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 1 mile east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

“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.”
