About our air source heat pumps in Bexon
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If you are dealing with not knowing whether a grant applies and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
For a home around Bexon 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Bexon
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Planning and permitted development questions
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
Homes in Bexon and heat pumps
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St John the Baptist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Bexon: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bexon?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bexon, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Bexon need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bexon. 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 do not 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 Swale council, which is usually the planning authority for Bexon.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many units are involved
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your installation or service records
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Bexon easier.
