How we handle air source heat pumps in Snagshall
We install air source heat pumps in Snagshall and across East Sussex, and we are 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Homes around Snagshall typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How we price air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air source heat pumps around Snagshall
Snagshall’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. About 16 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Snagshall, The Clock House (grade II) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Rother council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. VOA council tax data put about 38% of homes in and around Snagshall before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 72% 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. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near The Parish Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Great Dixter about 2.2 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

What we do, step by step
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. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Snagshall, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Snagshall questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Snagshall?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Snagshall is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Snagshall within the area you cover?
Yes. Snagshall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
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 and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book a yearly service
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
