Air source heat pumps in Ingrams Green
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Typical jobs include working out where a cylinder could go and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Ingrams Green normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Ingrams Green questions
Will you come out to Ingrams Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Ingrams Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ingrams Green, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. 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.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Ingrams Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Homes in Ingrams Green and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 41% of homes in the Ingrams Green area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. About 47 miles out from central London, Ingrams Green is part of the South East area we work across.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 3.1 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Should you have questions after the install, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
