Air source heat pumps in Hoe Gate, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about checking emitters for a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
In a place like Hoe Gate, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

When it’s something else
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Hoe Gate.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
How we price air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What else we do in Hoe Gate
Hoe Gate: your questions answered
Is Hoe Gate in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Hoe Gate falls inside our working area. To start, call 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Is Hoe Gate within the area you cover?
Yes. Hoe Gate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. 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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Air source heat pumps in Hoe Gate: the local picture
About 60 miles out from central London, Hoe Gate is part of the South East area we work across. About 43% of homes in Hoe Gate and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
