After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Little Conghurst
We install air source heat pumps in Little Conghurst and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about planning and permitted development questions and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
If your home in or near Little Conghurst is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Little Conghurst can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Little Conghurst
Central Little Conghurst is inside a conservation area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Little Conghurst. About 11 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Little Conghurst, Nightingale Cottage (grade II) among them. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Tunbridge Wells council, normally the planning authority here. About 38% of homes in and around Little Conghurst were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Great Dixter lies about 3.9 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Little Conghurst: your questions answered
Will you come out to Little Conghurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Little Conghurst?
Little Conghurst is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development provided the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
