Air source heat pumps in Wilsley Green
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you are dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Wilsley Green, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air source heat pumps around Wilsley Green
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 35% of homes in the Wilsley Green area before 1919, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Dunstan? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Common questions in Wilsley Green
Will a heat pump in Wilsley Green need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Wilsley Green sits inside a conservation area. 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 Tunbridge Wells council, which is typically the planning authority for Wilsley Green first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Wilsley Green?
Wilsley Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Will you make a mess?
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 before we leave.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Wilsley Green is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.

How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
When to call us in Wilsley Green
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
