Why it’s worth doing now in Tutt Hill
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Why us?
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- MCS certified for heat pumps
- Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba and more
- A fixed price before any work starts

Air source heat pumps in Tutt Hill
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 air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and checking emitters for a heat pump.
In a place like Tutt Hill, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Tutt Hill.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
Questions from Tutt Hill
Is a heat pump in Tutt Hill permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Tutt Hill. 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 Ashford council, which is typically the planning authority for Tutt Hill first.
Will you come out to Tutt Hill?
Yes. Tutt Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
