Air source heat pumps for Stonebridge Green

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

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.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stonebridge Green

An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.

Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Stonebridge Green, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.

Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What happens on the day

The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Stonebridge Green is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.

  1. We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
  2. We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
  3. A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
  4. Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
  5. Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.

How to prepare

  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is

Questions from Stonebridge Green

Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Stonebridge Green?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Stonebridge Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Ashford council, usually the authority for Stonebridge Green first.

Is Stonebridge Green within the area you cover?

We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.

Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?

The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.

How does the warranty work?

It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.

Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?

A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify as it has to meet the full heating demand.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Stonebridge Green

A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.

What we’re most often called about:

  • Finding a place for the outdoor unit
  • Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
  • Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump

Live in one of the older houses around Church of St James? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
  • Whether the price is fixed or an estimate

Questions to ask before you book

How the job changes from property to property

Air-to-water heat pumps

Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.

Heat loss surveys

Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.

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.”
