Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Biddenden Green
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder.
For a home around Biddenden 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.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep to regular servicing
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Landlords, agents and facilities 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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
How the visit works
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 on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Biddenden Green.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Why deal with it now?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

Biddenden Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Biddenden Green?
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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Biddenden Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Biddenden Green is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development provided the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Air source heat pumps around Biddenden Green
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The centre of Biddenden Green lies within a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 18 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Biddenden Green; Biddenden Green Farmhouse (grade II*) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which typically handles Biddenden Green.
Period properties close to Church of St Michael can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
