Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Sandy Cross
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. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. We are often asked to deal with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
Homes around Sandy Cross typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Homes in Sandy Cross and heat pumps
About 43% of homes in the Sandy Cross area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 41% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. In the mile around Sandy Cross’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Guildford council, normally the planning authority here where needed.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Laurence, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Farnham Castle, roughly 3 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Sandy Cross.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, ring 07833 053749 and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What else we do in Sandy Cross
Common questions in Sandy Cross
Will you come out to Sandy Cross?
Yes. Sandy Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Sandy Cross?
Sandy Cross is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
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 can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
