Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Oakridge.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

About our air source heat pumps in Oakridge
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Homes around Oakridge normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Questions from Oakridge
Is Oakridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Oakridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Oakridge?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Oakridge is in the South View Conservation Area. 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 Basingstoke and Deane council, which is normally the planning authority for Oakridge first.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken 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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What kind of system it is
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
