How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near South Holmwood is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- 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 recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

About our air source heat pumps in South Holmwood
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If you’re dealing with finding a place for the outdoor unit and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near South Holmwood, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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.

Heat pumps in South Holmwood: local notes
About 43% of homes in and around South Holmwood date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup.
Polesden Lacey lies about 5 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

We cover every part of RH5 for air source heat pumps. If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Warwick Road, Norfolk Road and Milford Court or a nearby road, we can help.

Questions from South Holmwood
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Holmwood?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including South Holmwood, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I fit a heat pump in South Holmwood without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central South Holmwood. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for South Holmwood, typically Mole Valley council).
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
