Our engineers work in Perham Down on MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work 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. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Perham Down.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Perham Down
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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for questions about where the outdoor unit can go and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Perham Down, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler, and is MCS certified when we install it.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
How we price air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What a heat pump looks like in Perham Down
About 69 miles out from central London, Perham Down is part of the South East area we work across. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 43% of homes across Perham Down and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 60% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Perham Down
Is the heat pump grant available in Perham Down?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Perham Down, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Perham Down within the area you cover?
Yes. Perham Down is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
