Lightwater: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Lightwater?
Lightwater is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover Lightwater for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Lightwater is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
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 means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights, so we check during the survey.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lightwater
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If you are dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can help.
For a house near Lightwater, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
Heat pumps in Lightwater: local notes
About 27 miles out from central London, Lightwater is part of the South East area we work across. The last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Advice
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
