Air source heat pumps in Dumpford
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in 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. We’re often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Dumpford, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Questions from Dumpford
Is the heat pump grant available in Dumpford?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Dumpford, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Dumpford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter, so we check for your property.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Dumpford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your installation or service records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Air source heat pumps around Dumpford
Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Dumpford, including The Old Rectory (grade I). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 41% of homes across Dumpford and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St George's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Cowdray House, roughly 3.8 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Dumpford easier.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit

After we’ve gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Book a yearly service
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. Cooling-only units are not included, so check with the council.
From one of our customers
“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.”
