Your questions about air source heat pumps in Folly Town

Do you cover smaller places like Folly Town?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.

Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Folly Town?

Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Folly Town is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.

Which type of heat pump is right for my home?

It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.

How quickly will you reply?

The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.

Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?

The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.

Air source heat pumps in Folly Town, done properly

Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Typical jobs include questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and a boiler that’s getting old, across air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.

Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Folly Town, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.

Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Advice

Heat pumps in Folly Town: local notes

Census 2021 figures found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The middle of Folly Town is part of a conservation area. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which typically handles Folly Town where needed.

A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Keeping the system healthy

Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:

  • Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
  • Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
  • Seal draughts where you can

Should you have questions after the install, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.

A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.

From one of our customers

“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.”
