Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hextable
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hextable?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hextable, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Hextable?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
About our air source heat pumps in Hextable
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can sort it out.
If your home near Hextable has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
Heat pumps in Hextable: local notes
The 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The middle of Hextable is part of a conservation area. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Sevenoaks council, which usually handles Hextable where needed.
Period properties close to St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Hall Place and Gardens about 2.7 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Hextable.
