The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Farthingloe.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Farthingloe
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
If your home in or near Farthingloe is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What else we do in Farthingloe
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. For a village like Farthingloe, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Questions from Farthingloe
Is the heat pump grant available in Farthingloe?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Farthingloe, if they qualify. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Farthingloe?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Farthingloe sits inside 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 Dover council, which is typically the planning authority for Farthingloe.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Homes in Farthingloe and heat pumps
Farthingloe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to Aycliffe Church Centre can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
