Air source heat pumps in Beltring
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If the problem is working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Beltring, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What affects the quote in Beltring
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What kind of system it is
- How easy the units are to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your installation or service records
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They don’t heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
What we do, step by step
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a village like Beltring, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Beltring: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Beltring?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Beltring. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Tonbridge and Malling council, which is normally the planning authority for Beltring.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Beltring?
Beltring 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Beltring and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work 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. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
What a heat pump looks like in Beltring
Census 2021 figures found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is near Beltring station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
