Air source heat pumps in Grange
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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’re dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
For a home around Grange that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How it works
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. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Grange.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next service
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing

Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Grange
Will you come out to Grange?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Grange?
Grange is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
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, so call 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange one.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Heat pumps in Grange: local notes
Grange is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. The 2021 Census found about 59% of households in terraced houses. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Grange. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Grange, including Grench Manor (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Medway council, usually the planning authority here.
Restoration House lies about 3.3 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to Church of St Mary Magdalen can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Grange is about 1 mile north of Gillingham, in Medway. Our engineers cover Grange for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Medway. Grange is one of 68 places in Medway where we work. The nearest of our city pages is Bromley, around 24 miles from Grange.
Our working area takes in ME7 and ME8 in full. Our engineers work on Grange Road, Lower Featherby Road and Odo Rise and nearby roads. Nearby, we also cover air source heat pumps in Lower Twydall (1 mile south-east), Twydall (1 mile south), Gillingham (1 mile south), Darland (2 miles south-west) and Hale (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Chatham (3 miles south-west), Rochester (4 miles west), Strood (4 miles west) and Park Wood (3 miles south).
Local landmarks in Grange
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Robert Napier School, Our Lady of Gillingham Church and Riverside Country Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find The Hastings Arms (under half a mile north-west) and The Robert Napier School (1.1 miles south-west). The closest station to Grange is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.3 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Huguenot Museum (3.3 miles west) and Pentagon Shopping Centre (2.4 miles west). The countryside around Grange includes Bishop Saltings.
Leave it or put it right?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
