Pricing air source heat pumps in Hatchford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What kind of system it is
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hatchford
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We are often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hatchford, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Hatchford questions
Can I fit a heat pump in Hatchford without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hatchford. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Elmbridge council, which is typically the planning authority for Hatchford.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hatchford?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hatchford, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Why deal with it now?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Booking before summer means the work in Hatchford is done before the hot weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Hatchford is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
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 parking and loading
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

With Byfleet Manor about 2.1 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Owner checks or 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 of the display helps even more.
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 electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
