Air source heat pumps in Holmethorpe
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If you are dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
For a house near Holmethorpe, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Holmethorpe
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Holmethorpe?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Holmethorpe holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Reigate and Banstead council, usually the authority for Holmethorpe.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Holmethorpe?
Holmethorpe is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Improving the building’s insulation
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Homes in Holmethorpe and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 41% of homes in the Holmethorpe area were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes.
If your home is one of the older properties near Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Homeowners near Redhill station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Related advice
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.

“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.”
