How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What kind of system it is
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Quotes don’t 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.
About our air source heat pumps in Comp
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and not knowing whether a grant applies, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
In a place like Comp, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Comp?
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Advice
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Find out the grant position at the survey
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.

Heat pumps in Comp: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 8 within half a mile of the centre, such as Comp Corner Cottage (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor, about 1.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Comp is about 3 miles west of Kings Hill, in Kent. We cover Comp for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Kent. We cover 922 places across Kent, large and small. Bromley, roughly 16 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Comp, a recent job of ours was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 12 miles north-west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.
We cover every part of the TN15 postcode area and the roads nearby. If you’re just outside Comp, we cover Platt (1 mile north-west), Wrotham Heath (1 mile north-east), Crouch (1 mile south-west), Claygate Cross (1 mile south-west) and Borough Green (1 mile west).

Common questions in Comp
Will you come out to Comp?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Comp?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Comp is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
