Air Source Heat Pumps in Eynsford
Our engineers work in Eynsford on MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Working out where a cylinder could go
The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Eynsford, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Eynsford
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Eynsford and the rest of Kent. 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. If you’re dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Eynsford, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
For landlords and property managers
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 are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Eynsford
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of any existing system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What else we do in Eynsford
What a heat pump looks like in Eynsford
About 16 miles out from central London, Eynsford is part of the South East area we work across.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of Saint Martin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is near Eynsford station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
Eynsford is about 5 miles east of Orpington, in Kent. Across the DA4 area, we cover air source heat pumps. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Eynsford among them. Bromley, roughly 9 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Our nearest recent job to Eynsford was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 5 miles west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.
Station Road, High Street and Edwards Court and the roads off them are all inside our area. If your postcode is in DA4, you’re inside the area we cover.

Common questions in Eynsford
Will you come out to Eynsford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will a heat pump in Eynsford need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Eynsford is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Eynsford, usually Sevenoaks council).
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
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 tell you why.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
