Air source heat pumps around East Farleigh
East Farleigh’s centre falls inside the East Farleigh Lower Road Conservation Area. In the mile around East Farleigh’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Church of Saint Mary, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 30 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around East Farleigh’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 30% of homes in and around East Farleigh were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of Saint Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How we handle air source heat pumps in East Farleigh
We install air source heat pumps in East Farleigh and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We’re often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near East Farleigh is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

When to call us in East Farleigh
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 along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
If your home is near East Farleigh station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in East Farleigh.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Your questions about air source heat pumps in East Farleigh
Is East Farleigh within the area you cover?
Yes. East Farleigh 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 East Farleigh?
East Farleigh is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Pricing air source heat pumps in East Farleigh
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The size of the job
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
