Air source heat pumps across Crofton

System by system

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 with strict conditions. The installer applies.

Hot water cylinders

The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.

About our air source heat pumps in Crofton

Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If the problem is moving away from fossil-fuel heating and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.

In a place like Crofton, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.

Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Crofton: your questions answered

Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Crofton?

Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Crofton, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.

Will you come out to Crofton?

Yes. Crofton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.

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 explain why.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

Homes in Crofton and heat pumps

Crofton is within about 1 mile of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in the Crofton area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.

Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

When to call us in Crofton

Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.

It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:

  • Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
  • No space for a hot water cylinder
  • Checking whether planning permission is needed

Older homes near Peel Common Mission Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Before you book anyone

  • Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
  • What’s in the price and what isn’t
  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day

Questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Crofton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
  2. The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
  3. We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
  4. Installation follows on the agreed dates.
  5. The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know where we can park and unload
  • Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
  • Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Ask for a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring 07833 053749.

From one of our customers

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
