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 anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Biddenden.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

About our air source heat pumps in Biddenden
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and checking emitters for a heat pump, on radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Biddenden, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, 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.

What else we do in Biddenden
System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Not every home qualifies, so we check before you commit.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- 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 system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Biddenden
Is Biddenden within the area you cover?
Yes. Biddenden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Biddenden?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Biddenden, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Homes in Biddenden and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The centre of Biddenden lies within a conservation area. Parish Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 41 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Biddenden’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (typically Ashford council).
Live in one of the older houses around Parish Church of All Saints? 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.
