What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. In a place like Park Wood, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air source heat pumps in Park Wood, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Park Wood and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Cottages and older homes near Park Wood can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Common questions in Park Wood
Do you cover Park Wood for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Park Wood is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Will you come out to Park Wood?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you protect the property while you 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.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify and other conditions apply.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Park Wood
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around St Martin's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Keep a note of anything odd: 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 or a short video of the display is even better.
What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Air source heat pumps around Park Wood
About 36% of homes in and around Park Wood have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Park Wood. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Maidstone council, usually the planning authority here.
Stoneacre, roughly 1.3 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
