Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Meadvale
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about ageing boilers that will need replacing and working out where a cylinder could go.
For a house near Meadvale, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Common problems we fix in Meadvale
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
If you live near Earlswood (Surrey) station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
What your quote should include
- What records you get at the end
- If the figure could change on the day
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What electrical work the job needs
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. An early booking makes the visit to Meadvale easier to arrange.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Meadvale
Do you cover smaller places like Meadvale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will a heat pump in Meadvale need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Meadvale holds about 11 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Meadvale, typically Reigate and Banstead council).
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief is not available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
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 anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Around Meadvale, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
