How we handle air source heat pumps in Lane End
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
If your home in or near Lane End is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Lane End?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Hinton Ampner House, roughly 2.8 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
What your quote should include
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
What air conditioning will not do
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Lane End
Do you cover Lane End for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lane End is part of that. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Is the heat pump grant available in Lane End?
Lane End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we tidy up before we leave. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Lane End.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

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.”
