Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Pirbright
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Pirbright and the rest of Surrey. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
In a place like Pirbright, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes and the installer applies.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Pirbright around you.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Pirbright
Is a heat pump in Pirbright permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Pirbright is in the Pirbright 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 don’t 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 the planning department at Guildford council, normally the authority for Pirbright.
Do you cover smaller places like Pirbright?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Pirbright
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- How many units are involved
- What electrical work the job needs
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
