How we handle air source heat pumps in Tudeley
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about finding a place for the outdoor unit and planning and permitted development questions.
Homes around Tudeley typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply

What a heat pump looks like in Tudeley
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 35% of homes in and around Tudeley were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. The centre of Tudeley lies within a conservation area. Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 23 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Tudeley’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Tunbridge Wells council, which normally handles Tudeley before the heat pump design is finished.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common problems we fix in Tudeley
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Look out for these signs:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Tudeley so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Tudeley questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Tudeley?
Tudeley 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Tudeley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What a customer said
