Pricing air source heat pumps in Stroude
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The address and the type of property
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Air source heat pumps in Stroude, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Stroude, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens if it’s left?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Stroude is done before the hot weather.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Stroude so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price

Common questions in Stroude
Will you come out to Stroude?
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.
Will a heat pump in Stroude need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stroude. 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 cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with Runnymede council, which is normally the planning authority for Stroude.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.

What else we do in Stroude
Air source heat pumps in Stroude: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 30% of homes in the Stroude area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Botleys Mansion, roughly 2.7 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. 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.
