Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lamport
Will you come out to Lamport?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Lamport?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Lamport is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Lamport
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Lamport, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Lamport, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Why it’s worth doing now in Lamport
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Lamport
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Period properties close to Parish Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What your quote should include
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Air source heat pumps around Lamport
Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Lamport and it takes in 2 conservation areas. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Lamport, Akeley Wood School (grade II) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Buckinghamshire council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. Lamport is about 53 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
If your home is listed, like Stowe House about 0.9 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
