Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Egham
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Egham and the rest of Surrey. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Plenty of older homes in Egham can run on a heat pump, though some need bigger radiators or better insulation first. The heat loss calculation shows what’s needed.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we tidy up before we leave. Let us know about side gates, ladders or locked areas at your property in Egham.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
Getting a price
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Advice
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Improving the building’s insulation
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a heat pump looks like in Egham
At about 20 miles from central London, Egham sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Live in one of the older houses around St John's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Frogmore House about 3.7 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Questions from Egham
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Egham?
Egham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Egham?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Egham Conservation Area is close to the centre of Egham. 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 local planning authority (for Egham, typically Runnymede council).
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. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work in Egham?
Yes. We work in Egham and the rest of Surrey, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that, under HMRC Notice 708/6. It does not apply to businesses.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diary the next service
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
