Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stroud Common
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and no space for a hot water cylinder, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Stroud Common, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Stroud Common.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Questions from Stroud Common
Is Stroud Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stroud Common?
Stroud Common is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.

Heat pumps in Stroud Common: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 7 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Stroud Common; Woodhill Cottage Woodhill Farm House (grade II) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Waverley council, which typically handles Stroud Common.
Historic houses such as Chilworth Manor, about 3.1 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near Christ Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
