Air source heat pumps in Medway: how it works
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Pricing in Medway

Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Near you in Gillingham
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Robert Napier School, Featherby Junior School and The Robert Napier School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Holy Trinity Church (under half a mile north-east), The Star pub (0.6 miles west) and Ambley Wood (0.8 miles south). For rail, the closest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west.

Where we fit heat pumps in Medway
Homes across Medway that are heated by oil or LPG, with no mains gas, can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We reply to enquiries from Medway the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7. Medway includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.
Gillingham: With Restoration House about 3.3 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Holy Trinity Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Signs you need air source heat pumps
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep to regular servicing
Should you have questions after the install, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
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.
Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
Medway questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Do you work in Medway?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Medway.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
