About our air source heat pumps in Holmbury St Mary
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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If you are dealing with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
For a home around Holmbury St Mary that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Holmbury St Mary is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Air source heat pumps in Holmbury St Mary: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 38% of homes across Holmbury St Mary and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Historic houses such as Polesden Lacey, about 4.8 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Period properties close to St Mary The Virgins Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Holmbury St Mary
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Holmbury St Mary
Will a heat pump in Holmbury St Mary need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Holmbury St Mary is a short walk from the Holmbury St Mary Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Holmbury St Mary, normally Guildford council).
Do you cover smaller places like Holmbury St Mary?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
What affects the quote in Holmbury St Mary
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749.
