Surrey · Heat pump installation
Shillinglee air source heat pumps
One call covers heat pump installation in Shillinglee, from the first look to sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small, and both cause problems.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
About our air source heat pumps in Shillinglee
We install air source heat pumps in Shillinglee and across Surrey, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
For a home around Shillinglee that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Shillinglee easier.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Advice
What affects the quote in Shillinglee
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What kind of system it is
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How many units are involved
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Your installation or service records
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What a heat pump looks like in Shillinglee
The last census (2021) found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we’re MCS certified. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Seal draughts where you can
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, call 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Common questions in Shillinglee
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Shillinglee?
It depends on the property. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Shillinglee. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Chichester council, which is typically the planning authority for Shillinglee.
Is Shillinglee within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
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, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
