About our air source heat pumps in Gomshall
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Gomshall, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Seal draughts where you can
- Ask about the grant before you commit
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Gomshall can be planned properly.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Gomshall
Will a heat pump in Gomshall need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Gomshall holds about 15 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Guildford council, which is usually the planning authority for Gomshall first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Gomshall?
Gomshall is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Homes in Gomshall and heat pumps
VOA council tax data put about 38% of homes in and around Gomshall before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Hatchlands Park about 2.9 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. For a home near Gomshall station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
