Air source heat pumps in Langley Heath
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
For a home around Langley Heath that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, 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’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Air source heat pumps around Langley Heath

Common questions in Langley Heath
Will you come out to Langley Heath?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Langley Heath?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 9 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Langley Heath. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Maidstone council, which is usually the planning authority for Langley Heath first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
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 new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave it or put it right?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Langley Heath
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
