Air source heat pumps in Frogham, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Frogham and across Kent, and we are 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. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
If your home in or near Frogham 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.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Visits to Frogham 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 are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Homes in Frogham and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 35% of homes in Frogham and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.4 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near Church of St Nicholas may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Frogham: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Frogham need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Frogham sits inside a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Dover council, which is typically the planning authority for Frogham first.
Is Frogham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures and we look at it during the survey.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Frogham
What happens if it’s left?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Frogham.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
