Replacing oil heating in Surrey's off-grid villages

If your home runs on oil or LPG, you already know the drill. Prices that jump around every winter, deliveries to schedule, a tank taking up garden space, and a boiler that owes you nothing. There is a better way to heat an older home, and it is quieter, cleaner and cheaper to run when it is designed properly.

Heat pumps work in older homes. The design is what matters.

You may have heard that heat pumps do not work in period properties. Badly designed ones don't. Properly designed ones do. We are Heat Geek Elite certified, which means we design the whole system around your actual home: a room-by-room heat loss survey, radiators and pipework sized correctly, and a system tuned to run at low temperatures where heat pumps are most efficient. That is the difference between a heat pump that merely works and one that costs less to run than the oil it replaced.

Built for homes like yours

We work in the villages around Guildford: Shere, Gomshall, Peaslake, Holmbury St Mary, Albury, Shamley Green, Ewhurst, Cranleigh and the surrounding area. Stone cottages, listed buildings, extensions, awkward pipe runs, we specialise in the properties other installers turn down.

What you get with Lotus Energy

A proper heat loss survey, not a guess from the kerb. A system designed first and quoted second. Quality hardware from Vaillant, Viessmann, Glowworm or Grant. One local engineer responsible for the whole job, from design through to commissioning and aftercare. And if your home is eligible, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme currently takes £9000 off the cost of installation.

What it costs to find out

Our design-led survey starts from £250 including VAT. You get a clear, honest answer about whether your home suits a heat pump and what it will cost to run, before you commit to anything.
