About our air source heat pumps in Brookland
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Brookland, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

FAQs for Brookland
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Brookland?
It depends on the property. The Brookland Conservation Area is close to the centre of Brookland. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Brookland, usually Folkestone and Hythe council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Brookland?
Brookland is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Is Brookland in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Brookland, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Brookland?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
Owner checks or an engineer?
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. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
