Air source heat pumps in East Langdon
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, 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. If you’re dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
Homes around East Langdon usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

East Langdon: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in East Langdon?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of East Langdon is in a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Dover council, typically the authority for East Langdon.
Is the heat pump grant available in East Langdon?
East Langdon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call 07833 053749 to book it.
Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Diary the next service
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Langdon
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Getting the date in early helps for a place like East Langdon.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a village like East Langdon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
