Air source heat pumps in Graveney
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Graveney need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Common questions in Graveney
Will you come out to Graveney?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Graveney?
Graveney is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
What happens if it’s left?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What affects the quote in Graveney
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What kind of system it is
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- How many units are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Graveney.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Heat pumps in Graveney: local notes
Graveney lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The Graveney Bridge Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Graveney, within about a third of a mile. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Graveney. Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 11 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Graveney’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (normally Swale council) before the heat pump design is finished. About 39% of homes in Graveney and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Book a yearly service
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
