Air source heat pumps in Hinchley Wood, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
For a house near Hinchley Wood, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Hinchley Wood can be done in one go where possible.
- 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.
- 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
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Homes in Hinchley Wood and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 47% of homes across Hinchley Wood and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hinchley Wood. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Elmbridge council, typically the planning authority here where necessary.
If your home is listed, like Hampton Court Palace about 1.9 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. For a home near Hinchley Wood station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

After we’ve gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Use the settings explained at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hinchley Wood
Is the heat pump grant available in Hinchley Wood?
Hinchley Wood is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Hinchley Wood in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Hinchley Wood falls inside our working area. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
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 and we look at it during the survey.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.

“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.”
