Air source heat pumps in Ockford Ridge, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a place like Ockford Ridge, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not 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’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

What else we do in Ockford Ridge
Common problems we fix in Ockford Ridge
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Live in one of the older houses around St John the Evangelist's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What to look for in a quote

Ockford Ridge: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ockford Ridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Ockford Ridge without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Ockford Ridge holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. 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 planning department at Waverley council, usually the authority for Ockford Ridge first.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
It 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. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What a heat pump looks like in Ockford Ridge
About 35% of homes in Ockford Ridge and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.

What happens on the day

- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
