Air source heat pumps in High Cross
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
If your home in or near High Cross is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. 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 High Cross, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Before you call an engineer
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in High Cross
Is a heat pump in High Cross permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central High Cross. 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 High Cross, typically Wealden council).
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
