How we handle air source heat pumps in Selsdon
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Older homes around Selsdon can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Air source heat pumps around Selsdon
About 44% of homes in and around Selsdon date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. About 11 miles out from central London, Selsdon is part of the South East area we work across.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Selsdon
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Addington Palace, roughly 1 mile north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. In a place like Selsdon, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What else we do in Selsdon
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Selsdon
Can you do air source heat pumps in Selsdon?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Selsdon is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will you come out to Selsdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Businesses pay the standard rate, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Before you call 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 call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- File the MCS certificate safely
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
