About our air source heat pumps in Jockey End
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If you are dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Jockey End need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They do not heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures and we look at it during the survey.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Jockey End
Do you cover smaller places like Jockey End?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is a heat pump in Jockey End permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 14 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Jockey End. 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 Dacorum council, which is usually the planning authority for Jockey End.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
