What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
About our air source heat pumps in Hornchurch Marshes
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. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Terraced houses in a London area like Hornchurch Marshes can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Let us know who controls access to the building in Hornchurch Marshes, as that saves time on the day.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Hornchurch Marshes
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Comparing heat pump types
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Rainham Hall lies about 1.1 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- If the figure could change on the day
