Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Upper Denford
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and a boiler that’s getting old.
If your home in or near Upper Denford is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Upper Denford so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

What affects the quote in Upper Denford
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your installation or service records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
When to call us in Upper Denford
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.
What we’re most often called about:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
Common questions in Upper Denford
Will you come out to Upper Denford?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Upper Denford?
Yes. Upper Denford is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: 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.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. It does not apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
A customer’s words
“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.”
