Air source heat pumps in Nettlestead Green
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
For a home around Nettlestead Green that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Nettlestead Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board

What a heat pump looks like in Nettlestead Green
The last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Nettlestead Green; Forge Cottages (grade II) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Maidstone council, usually the planning authority here.
If your home is near Yalding station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Old Soar Manor, roughly 4.3 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Common questions in Nettlestead Green
Will you come out to Nettlestead Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Nettlestead Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Nettlestead Green is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Nettlestead Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The equipment or parts the job needs
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 struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
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.

“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.”
