Air source heat pumps in Upper Halliford
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We are often asked to deal with checking whether planning permission is needed and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
For a home around Upper Halliford that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Upper Halliford.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
What air source heat pumps can’t fix

What a heat pump looks like in Upper Halliford
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 49% of homes in and around Upper Halliford to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary the Virgin? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Hampton Court Palace about 4 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Different systems, different jobs
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
FAQs for Upper Halliford
Is the heat pump grant available in Upper Halliford?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Upper Halliford is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Upper Halliford?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Upper Halliford Conservation Area, close to central Upper Halliford. 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 the planning department at Spelthorne council, typically the authority for Upper Halliford first.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
A customer’s words
“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.”
