About our air source heat pumps in Belbins
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If you’re dealing with comparing heat pump types and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
In a place like Belbins, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
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 anything chargeable is done.

Belbins: your questions answered
Will you come out to Belbins?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Belbins?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Belbins is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.

Advice
Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Air source heat pumps in Belbins: the local picture
Belbins is about 69 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. VOA council tax data date about 45% of homes in Belbins and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Mottisfont Abbey about 2.7 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Andrew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
