Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lower Eashing
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. We’re often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and working out whether radiators need upsizing, on hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
For a home around Lower Eashing that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near Lower Eashing is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

FAQs for Lower Eashing
Can I fit a heat pump in Lower Eashing without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Lower Eashing is in the Eashing Conservation Area. 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 Guildford council, usually the authority for Lower Eashing.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Lower Eashing?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Lower Eashing, if they qualify. 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.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Do you cover Lower Eashing?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Lower Eashing included.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What we are called out for in Lower Eashing
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What your quote should include
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate

Safe owner checks
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 ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Do not 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 electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What a customer said
“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.”
