- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Broad Tenterden can be planned properly.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Air source heat pumps in Broad Tenterden
We install air source heat pumps in Broad Tenterden and across Kent, and we’re 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 will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and no space for a hot water cylinder.
In a place like Broad Tenterden, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Why act early in Broad Tenterden
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Broad Tenterden
Will you come out to Broad Tenterden?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Broad Tenterden?
Broad Tenterden is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Does servicing affect my 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 you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
What a heat pump looks like in Broad Tenterden
The last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Broad Tenterden’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Broad Tenterden; Chestnut House (grade II*) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Smallhythe Place lies about 1.6 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around Parish Church of St Mildred? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Broad Tenterden
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What kind of system it is
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
