Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Denton
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions.
Homes around Denton usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Air source heat pumps in Denton: the local picture
Denton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Denton, including Church of St Peter and St Paul (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 local planning authority (normally Gravesham council) where necessary.
Cobham College, roughly 3.1 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter and St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Visits to a place like Denton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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.
How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. It doesn’t apply to businesses.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Denton
Is Denton within the area you cover?
Yes. Denton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Denton?
Denton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
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 you get a fixed-price quote.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain 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 it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What a customer said
“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.”
