Air source heat pumps in Cop Street
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Cop Street, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Heat pumps in Cop Street: local notes
Central Cop Street is inside a conservation area. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Cop Street, including Upper Goldstone Farmhouse (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Dover council, which normally handles Cop Street. About 37% of homes in Cop Street and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Goodnestone Park lies about 4.1 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
For air source heat pumps in Cop Street, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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. Somewhere like Cop Street, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Cop Street questions
Will you come out to Cop Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Cop Street?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Cop Street 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 do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
