About our air source heat pumps in Matfield
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Matfield, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: 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.
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Why act early in Matfield
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. An early booking makes the visit to Matfield easier to arrange.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.

Questions from Matfield
Is the heat pump grant available in Matfield?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Matfield is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Matfield?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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 a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
The process
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 we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Matfield.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading

Heat pumps in Matfield: local notes
Matfield’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Matfield House, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 41 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Matfield’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Tunbridge Wells council, which usually handles Matfield where needed. About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Scotney Castle about 4.5 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Ebenezer Church (Matfield)? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders

Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
