Air source heat pumps in Littleton
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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include not knowing whether a grant applies and checking emitters for a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Littleton need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Homes in Littleton and heat pumps
About 54% of homes in Littleton and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Period properties close to Church of St Mary Magdalene can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Littleton is about 2 miles south of Ashford, in Surrey. Littleton gets the same approach as every job we take on: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Our list for Surrey has 395 entries and Littleton is among them. For properties nearby, see our Guildford page (12 miles or so).
Not far from Littleton, a recent job of ours was on Church Street, Staines-upon-Thames (TW18), about 2 miles north-west: installing two LG wall-mounted units in the main office area and a single unit in the client meeting room.
If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Lion Close, Astleham Road and Korda Close or anywhere close by, our engineers can take on the work. Postcode districts we cover here: TW17. We also cover the places around Littleton: Shepperton Green (1 mile south-east), Laleham (1 mile north-west), Charlton (1 mile east), Littleton Common (1 mile north-east) and Ashford (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (12 miles south), Woking (8 miles south-west), Camberley (12 miles south-west) and Epsom (10 miles south-east).

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Visits to Littleton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board

Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation along with the room sizes.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If anything does not seem right after installation, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Littleton: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Littleton?
Littleton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Littleton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Littleton. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Littleton, typically Spelthorne council) first.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
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 will take it from there.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
