How we handle air source heat pumps in East Cholderton
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 radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
In a place like East Cholderton, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

FAQs for East Cholderton
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in East Cholderton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The East Cholderton Conservation Area takes in the middle of East Cholderton. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Test Valley council, typically the authority for East Cholderton.
Do you cover smaller places like East Cholderton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to arrange one.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it will not qualify.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

How to prepare

- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
