Air source heat pumps in Peper Harow, done properly
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If you’re dealing with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
In a place like Peper Harow, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Peper Harow: your questions answered
Is a heat pump in Peper Harow permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Peper Harow sits inside the Peper Harow Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Guildford council, which is normally the planning authority for Peper Harow.
Is the heat pump grant available in Peper Harow?
Peper Harow is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Should you have questions after the install, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump and we tell you if it needs replacing.
Air source heat pumps around Peper Harow
The last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
