Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Pitch Place
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
For a home around Pitch Place that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

When to call us in Pitch Place
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Look out for these signs:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Older homes near Church of St Michael and All Angels may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. If a lane or gateway near Pitch Place is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Advice
Questions from Pitch Place
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Pitch Place?
Pitch Place is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Pitch Place without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Pitch Place holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Waverley council, which is typically the planning authority for Pitch Place.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to arrange one.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
