Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Mountfield
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include checking whether planning permission is needed and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Mountfield 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.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
What a heat pump looks like in Mountfield
About 42% of homes across Mountfield and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Durhamford Manor about 2 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to The Parish Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Mountfield
Can I fit a heat pump in Mountfield without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Mountfield sits inside a 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 Mountfield, usually Rother council).
Do you cover smaller places like Mountfield?
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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Mountfield around you.
