- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Common problems we fix in Hilden Park
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Customers typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Older homes near Parish Church of St John may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Air source heat pumps in Hilden Park
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include moving away from fossil-fuel heating and planning and permitted development questions, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Hilden Park, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, 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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hilden Park
Do you cover smaller places like Hilden Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Hilden Park permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 15 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hilden Park. 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 Hilden Park, normally Tonbridge and Malling council).
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Hilden Park are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Heat pumps in Hilden Park: local notes
About 43% of homes in Hilden Park and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Ightham Mote, roughly 3.4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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.”
