About our air source heat pumps in Grateley
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Grateley need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Grateley
Do you cover smaller places like Grateley?
Yes. Grateley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Grateley?
Grateley 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
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. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.

What we’re called out for in Grateley
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Leonard? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Diary the next service
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
