Common questions in Salfords
Is Salfords in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Salfords is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you come out to Salfords?
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.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development provided the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Air source heat pumps in Salfords, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Salfords and across Surrey, and we are MCS certified.

We will explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for checking whether planning permission is needed and not knowing whether a grant applies, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Salfords that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Heat pumps in Salfords: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 35% of homes in the Salfords area were built in 2000 or later, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. In the mile around Salfords’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Reigate and Banstead council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Older homes near Christ the King may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
