FAQs for Culverstone Green
Is Culverstone Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Culverstone Green 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Culverstone Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Culverstone Green, if they qualify. 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.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
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. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Culverstone Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
In a place like Culverstone Green, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Culverstone Green
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Culverstone Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Culverstone Green
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Culverstone Green.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How many units are involved
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
