Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bells Yew Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Bells Yew Green need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Bells Yew Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bells Yew Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bells Yew Green?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Bells Yew Green holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Bells Yew Green, typically Wealden council).
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
What a heat pump looks like in Bells Yew Green
About 38% of homes in the Bells Yew Green area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump.
Wadhurst Castle lies about 3 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
