About our air source heat pumps in Russ Hill
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are moving away from fossil-fuel heating and not knowing whether a grant applies.
In a place like Russ Hill, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep radiators clear
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Why act early in Russ Hill
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Every job looked at before it’s priced

Common questions in Russ Hill
Will a heat pump in Russ Hill need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Russ Hill. 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 needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Russ Hill, normally Mole Valley council).
Do you cover smaller places like Russ Hill?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Quite possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. 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 of the property help us plan a visit to Russ Hill.
