Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Cranbourne
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. We’re often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Homes around Cranbourne usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air source heat pumps in Cranbourne: the local picture
Cranbourne is about 25 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 71% of homes in Cranbourne and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is listed, like St Leonard's Hill about 1.5 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

When to call us in Cranbourne
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Older homes near Church of St Peter may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Cranbourne.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Other services in Cranbourne
Cranbourne: your questions answered
Will you come out to Cranbourne?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Cranbourne?
Cranbourne is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to arrange one.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
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 new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How we price air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
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 system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The address and the type of property

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
