How we handle air source heat pumps in Yorkletts
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. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can sort it out.
In a place like Yorkletts, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
If you need air source heat pumps in Yorkletts, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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 cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Yorkletts: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Yorkletts?
Yorkletts is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is Yorkletts within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 to book it.
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a place like Yorkletts, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
How to get a quote
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Heat pumps in Yorkletts: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Yorkletts. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around St Alphege? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
