About our air source heat pumps in Well Hill
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking whether planning permission is needed, on air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a flat in Well Hill, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
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.
Questions from Well Hill
Is the heat pump grant available in Well Hill?
Well Hill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Well Hill?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Well Hill will be.

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It can’t be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Air source heat pumps around Well Hill
About 59% of homes in the Well Hill area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Lullingstone Castle lies about 2 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around Mission Chapel? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
