How we handle air source heat pumps in Tilford
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Tilford need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Tilford so we arrive with what’s needed.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
When to call us in Tilford
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Farnham Castle, roughly 3.2 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- If the figure could change on the day
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tilford
Do you cover smaller places like Tilford?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Tilford without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Tilford Conservation Area, close to central Tilford. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Waverley council, which is typically the planning authority for Tilford first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
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 I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
