How we handle air source heat pumps in Hook Green
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is not knowing whether a grant applies and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hook Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Hook Green so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Advice
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Use the settings explained at handover
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Heat pumps in Hook Green: local notes
VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in the Hook Green area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 86% 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 typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Cobham College about 3.9 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What electrical work the job needs
- What kind of system it is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Hook Green
Will you come out to Hook Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Hook Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Hook Green Conservation Area takes in the middle of Hook Green. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Dartford council, which is usually the planning authority for Hook Green.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
