Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Blue Town
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are working out where a cylinder could go and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Whether a home near Blue Town has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Blue Town: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Blue Town?
Yes. Blue Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re 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 Blue Town?
Blue Town is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When it’s something else
Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
