Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lower Green

Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Typical jobs include questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.

Homes around Lower Green usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.

Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Lower Green questions

Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lower Green?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Hawkley Lower Green Conservation Area takes in the middle of Lower Green. 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 the local planning authority (for Lower Green, normally East Hampshire council) first.

Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

How quickly will you reply?

You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

What warranty do I get?

The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.

Do you work on all makes?

We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

Heat pumps in Lower Green: local notes

Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.

Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Keep to regular servicing
  • Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
  • Leave indoor units unobstructed

Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.

Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.

Safe owner checks

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

What we do, step by step

Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Lower Green is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.

  1. Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
  2. On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
  3. You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
  4. The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
  5. The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
