Air source heat pumps in Bilting
We install air source heat pumps in Bilting and across Kent, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. If you are dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Bilting, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Common problems we fix in Bilting
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
What we are most often called about:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Before booking anyone
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Bilting is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bilting
Do you cover smaller places like Bilting?
Yes. Bilting is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is a heat pump in Bilting permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of Bilting is in a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Ashford council, typically the authority for Bilting.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
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. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
