Let and managed properties
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Skye Green
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are working out whether radiators need upsizing and working out where a cylinder could go.
Homes around Skye Green usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What a heat pump looks like in Skye Green
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Skye Green is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Period properties close to Parish Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Layer Marney Tower about 4.5 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

FAQs for Skye Green
Do you cover Skye Green for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Skye Green is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Skye Green?
Skye Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
