Air source heat pumps in Hook Common
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can sort it out.
Homes around Hook Common normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It 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, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Hook Common can be planned properly.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.

Related advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Why act early in Hook Common
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Air source heat pumps around Hook Common

Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Holly Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Hart council, which typically handles Hook Common before the heat pump design is finished. About 33% of homes in and around Hook Common have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near St John the Evangelist may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Homeowners near Hook station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

FAQs for Hook Common
Is the heat pump grant available in Hook Common?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hook Common, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Hook Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
