Air source heat pumps in Lyde Green, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Lyde Green need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Lyde Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lyde Green?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lyde Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Lyde Green. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Lyde Green, typically Hart council).
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Lyde Green so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Lyde Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Lyde Green
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Stratfield Saye House, roughly 2.8 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
