When to call us in Mickleham
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Period properties close to Church of St Michael can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
How we handle air source heat pumps in Mickleham
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. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and not knowing whether a grant applies, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a place like Mickleham, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Heat pumps in Mickleham: local notes
The middle of Mickleham is part of the Mickleham Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 26 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Mickleham; The Old House (grade II*) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Mole Valley council, typically the planning authority here. About 60% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Polesden Lacey about 2.4 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Advice
Mickleham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mickleham?
Yes. Mickleham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Mickleham?
Mickleham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
