How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Tilford Reeds can be planned properly.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Tilford Reeds
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
For a home around Tilford Reeds that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Questions from Tilford Reeds
Is the heat pump grant available in Tilford Reeds?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Tilford Reeds is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Tilford Reeds?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Tilford Reeds holds about 10 listed buildings and structures. 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 the planning department at Waverley council, usually the authority for Tilford Reeds.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What kind of system it is
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Your installation or service records
- The address and the type of property
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
