Air source heat pumps in Stocking Pelham
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include questions about where the outdoor unit can go and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
In a place like Stocking Pelham, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stocking Pelham
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stocking Pelham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stocking Pelham, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Stocking Pelham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter, so we check for your property.
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems, and both cause problems.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Work in Stocking Pelham is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The pipe route between the units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. 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.
Heat pumps in Stocking Pelham: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in the Stocking Pelham area were built in 2000 or later, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The Crabb's Green Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Stocking Pelham, within about a third of a mile. The Old Rectory, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Stocking Pelham’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
