Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Earlswood
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
If your home near Earlswood has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
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 and it’s worth keeping safe.

FAQs for Earlswood
Will you come out to Earlswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Earlswood?
Earlswood is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Improving the building’s insulation
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Let and managed properties
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.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Earlswood can be done in one go where possible.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- 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.

- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Earlswood
Earlswood’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the St Johns Conservation Area. In the mile around Earlswood’s centre, 6 conservation areas have been designated. About 15 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Earlswood, Church of St John the Evangelist (grade II*) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Reigate and Banstead council, which usually handles Earlswood where needed. At about 19 miles from central London, Earlswood sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
