Air source heat pumps near Street End

How we handle air source heat pumps in Street End

We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.

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

Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What we do, step by step

Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Street End.

  1. It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
  2. The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
  3. We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
  4. The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
  5. Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.

Before we arrive

  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
  • Leave space around the outdoor unit
  • Diary the next service

We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we will explain the settings for your home.

Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.

Rented and managed buildings

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.

Safe owner checks

On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Street End

Is Street End within the area you cover?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.

Will a heat pump in Street End need planning permission?

It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Street End. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with Canterbury City council, which is normally the planning authority for Street End.

Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?

We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.

How soon will you get back to me?

You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.

Is the equipment covered by a warranty?

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

How much does an air source heat pump cost?

Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
