How we handle air source heat pumps in Deal
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If you are dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can help.
Most homes around Deal have space for the outdoor unit, and it needs to meet the MCS noise check to be permitted development.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council

Air source heat pumps in Deal: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Deal is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. Central Deal is inside a conservation area. Historic England lists about 33 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Deal, including The Cottage (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Dover council, which usually handles Deal where necessary.
Older homes near St Saviour's may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. For a home near Deal station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
Deal is about 14 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Deal to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Deal is one of them. The nearest of our city pages is Eastbourne, around 57 miles from Deal.

Common questions in Deal
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Deal?
It can, as Deal is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Deal?
Deal is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What electrical work the job needs
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
If you need air source heat pumps in Deal, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some photos if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A visit in Deal is booked for a time that suits you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.

- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
From one of our customers
“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.”
