Air source heat pumps in Shamley Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about planning and permitted development questions and working out where a cylinder could go.
For a home around Shamley Green that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Diary the next service
- Ask about the grant before you commit
Should you have questions after the install, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Shamley Green
Is a heat pump in Shamley Green permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Shamley Green sits inside the Shamley Green Conservation Area. 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Shamley Green, usually Waverley council).
Is Shamley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
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.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas

System by system
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small and that matters for comfort and running.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Shamley Green 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.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
