Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Air source heat pumps in Chilmington Green, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Chilmington Green 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. We are often asked to deal with planning and permitted development questions and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Older and listed homes in villages like Chilmington Green need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for Chilmington Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Chilmington Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Chilmington Green is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Chilmington Green need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Chilmington Green 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, normally the authority for Chilmington Green.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How it works
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. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Chilmington Green can be planned properly.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Chilmington Green
About 35% of homes across Chilmington Green and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Godinton House lies about 1.9 miles north. 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 Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Not every home qualifies and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
