Your questions about air source heat pumps in Virginia Water
Will you come out to Virginia Water?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Virginia Water?
Virginia Water 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
About our air source heat pumps in Virginia Water
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Cottages and older homes near Virginia Water can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What else we do in Virginia Water
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many units are involved
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it

What we’re called out for in Virginia Water
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Botleys Mansion lies about 2.5 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. In a place like Virginia Water, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
