How we handle air source heat pumps in Elvendon
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
If your home in or near Elvendon is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Elvendon
Is Elvendon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is Elvendon in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Elvendon is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights, so we check during the survey.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Elvendon.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

What a heat pump looks like in Elvendon
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 41% of homes across Elvendon and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Elvendon is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Historic houses such as Basildon Park, about 2.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Elvendon is about 6 miles south of Benson, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in RG8, we cover air source heat pumps. Elvendon is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for homes and businesses. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 30 miles away.

Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They do not heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Not every home qualifies and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

“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.”
