Air source heat pumps in Crouch, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, 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. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can sort it out.
For a home around Crouch that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What else we do in Crouch
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We plan the trip to Crouch around you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Crouch
Will you come out to Crouch?
Yes. Crouch is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Crouch permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 11 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Crouch. 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 planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, normally the authority for Crouch.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What electrical work the job needs
- The size of the job
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Homes in Crouch and heat pumps
Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Old Soar Manor, roughly 1 mile south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
