About our air source heat pumps in Coursehorn
We install air source heat pumps in Coursehorn and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
For a home around Coursehorn that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Coursehorn?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Period properties close to Church of St Dunstan can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- If the figure could change on the day

FAQs for Coursehorn
Will a heat pump in Coursehorn need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Coursehorn is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Tunbridge Wells council, which is usually the planning authority for Coursehorn.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Coursehorn?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Coursehorn is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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 AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
For landlords and property managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Air source heat pumps around Coursehorn
About 35% of homes in Coursehorn and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
