Air source heat pumps in Yopps Green, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are not knowing whether a grant applies and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
For a home around Yopps Green that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, 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.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. For a village like Yopps Green, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Common questions in Yopps Green
Will you come out to Yopps Green?
Yes. Yopps Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Yopps Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Yopps Green is a short walk from the Plaxtol 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 the planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, typically the authority for Yopps Green first.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
For landlords and property managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Yopps Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
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 photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Yopps Green can be planned properly.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
