About our air source heat pumps in Ottershaw
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and working out where a cylinder could go, on air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Cottages and older homes near Ottershaw can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Ottershaw.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The make and model of the system, from the label

Air source heat pumps in Ottershaw: the local picture
About 60% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Botleys Mansion about 0.8 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Christ Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Ottershaw is about 4 miles west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Whatever kind of property you have in Ottershaw, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You’ll hear back from us the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. Ottershaw is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for homes and businesses. Our Guildford page covers places nearby, about 8 miles away.
The closest recent job we can point to from Ottershaw was on Queens Road, Weybridge (KT13), about 4 miles east: installing a full-house Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system covering five bedrooms, the study, the sitting room and the kitchen-living area: eight indoor units in total served by two outdoor units.
If your postcode is in KT16, you’re inside the area we cover. That includes properties on Ottermead Lane, Chaworth Close and Crawshaw Road and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Row Town (1 mile east), Stonehill (1 mile west), Woodham (1 mile south-east), Lyne (2 miles north) and Chertsey (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (8 miles south), Woking (4 miles south-west), Camberley (9 miles west) and Epsom (11 miles east).
Local landmarks in Ottershaw
Typical jobs here are in properties near Jubilee High School and White Lodge Children's Centre. Ottershaw’s nearest station is Chertsey station, about 1.9 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include The Hockey Museum (3.3 miles south) and St. Peter's Hospital (1 mile north). Open spaces near Ottershaw include St Ann's Lake and St Ann's Hill.
Why deal with it now?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. An early booking makes the visit to Ottershaw easier to arrange.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.

What else we do in Ottershaw
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ottershaw
Will you come out to Ottershaw?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Ottershaw?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ottershaw. 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 necessary, we check with Runnymede council, which is typically the planning authority for Ottershaw.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
