Common questions in Monxton
Is Monxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Monxton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Monxton without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Monxton sits inside the Amport and Monxton Conservation Area. 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 Monxton, usually Test Valley council).
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home with an MCS certified installer.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Air source heat pumps in Monxton, done properly
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. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and planning and permitted development questions.
In a place like Monxton, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Visits to Monxton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- 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.

How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes and the installer applies.
Heat pumps in Monxton: local notes
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
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 Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
