- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Diary the next service
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
About our air source heat pumps in Nash
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can help.
In a place like Nash, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Nash.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Nash?
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Comparing heat pump types
- Planning and permitted development questions
With Goodnestone Park about 3 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Questions from Nash
Is Nash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Nash?
Nash is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Nash and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Air source heat pumps in Nash: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes in the Nash area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The centre of Nash lies within a conservation area. Nash Farm House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 7 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Nash’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Dover council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to Elmstone Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
