Air source heat pumps in Hinxhill, done properly
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Typical jobs include questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hinxhill, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Rented and managed buildings
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Homes in Hinxhill and heat pumps
About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Central Hinxhill is inside a conservation area. Church of St Mary, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hinxhill’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which normally handles Hinxhill where necessary.
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hinxhill
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hinxhill?
Hinxhill is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Hinxhill?
Yes. Hinxhill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you.

Advice
When to call us in Hinxhill
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
With Godinton House about 4.3 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

“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.”
