What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Air source heat pumps in Stonecrouch, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Stonecrouch that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stonecrouch

Heat pumps in Stonecrouch: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 47% of homes in the Stonecrouch area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 78% 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. Stonecrouch’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. In the mile around Stonecrouch’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Stonecrouch, Forge House (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Tunbridge Wells council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Scotney Castle, roughly 1.6 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

What we’re called out for in Stonecrouch
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stonecrouch
Will you come out to Stonecrouch?
Yes. Stonecrouch is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stonecrouch?
Stonecrouch is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What happens on the day
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Work in Stonecrouch is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
