Air source heat pumps in Dane Hill
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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 check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Dane Hill need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Dane Hill are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Managing agents and facilities teams in Dane Hill
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
Questions from Dane Hill
Is the heat pump grant available in Dane Hill?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Dane Hill is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is Dane Hill in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Dane Hill falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Air source heat pumps in Dane Hill: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 34% of homes across Dane Hill and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Dane Hill is about 61 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
