The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The application goes through the installer.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 the installer applies.
Air source heat pumps in Cudworth, done properly
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. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Cudworth need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a village like Cudworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Heat pumps in Cudworth: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Cudworth Manor (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Mole Valley council, which typically handles Cudworth. Census 2021 figures found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
