Air source heat pumps in Donkey Town: the local picture
About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Donkey Town, Brentmoor Dene House (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Surrey Heath council) before the heat pump design is finished. The 2021 Census found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Air source heat pumps in Donkey Town, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We are often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
For a home around Donkey Town that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What else we do in Donkey Town
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Donkey Town is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- 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
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Related advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Donkey Town?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
Period properties close to Holy Trinity can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What your quote should include
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Leave it or put it right?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Donkey Town.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Questions from Donkey Town
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Donkey Town?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Donkey Town is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Donkey Town?
Yes. Donkey Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Improving the building’s insulation
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
