Let and managed properties

If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Air source heat pumps in Weddington

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 homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking whether planning permission is needed.

Older and listed homes in villages like Weddington need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Weddington

People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.

These are the situations we see most often:

  • Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
  • Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
  • Deciding on the outdoor unit position

Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
  • Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it

Homes in Weddington and heat pumps

VOA council tax data put about 37% of homes in the Weddington area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.

Goodnestone Park, roughly 3.9 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

The process

There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Weddington can be planned properly.

  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. You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
  4. Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
  5. Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children away from the work area
  • Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Weddington questions

Is a heat pump in Weddington permitted development?

It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Weddington. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Dover council, which is usually the planning authority for Weddington.

Will you come out to Weddington?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.

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.

Do I get paperwork after the visit?

Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.

What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?

For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.

From one of our customers

“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.”
