About our air source heat pumps in Goff's Oak
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Homes around Goff's Oak usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

FAQs for Goff's Oak
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Goff's Oak?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Goff's Oak. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Goff's Oak, typically Broxbourne council).
Is Goff's Oak within the area you cover?
Yes. Goff's Oak 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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. 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 a place like Goff's Oak are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- 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.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book a yearly service
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.

From one of our customers
“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.”
