Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hale Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hale Green?
Hale Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Hale Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
About our air source heat pumps in Hale Green
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. We’re often asked to deal with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Hale Green 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.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Hale Green, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Homes in Hale Green and heat pumps
About 36% of homes across Hale Green and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hale Green, including Bull River Farmhouse (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Wealden council, typically the planning authority here.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Horselunges Manor about 2.4 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
