Pricing air source heat pumps in Kenley
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the units are to reach
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Air source heat pumps in Kenley
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and ageing boilers that will need replacing, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
For flats in Kenley, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Kenley.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Kenley early.
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 any work starts.

Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Homes in Kenley and heat pumps
About 32% of homes in the Kenley area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Addington Palace, roughly 3.3 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Kenley
Can you do air source heat pumps in Kenley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Kenley is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
Is the heat pump grant available in Kenley?
Kenley is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
