Why it’s worth doing now in Greenhill
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

About our air source heat pumps in Greenhill
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Homes around Greenhill usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Greenhill
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A boiler that is getting old
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
If you live near Herne Bay station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
What your quote should include
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Greenhill questions
Will a heat pump in Greenhill need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Greenhill. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Canterbury City council, normally the authority for Greenhill.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Greenhill?
Greenhill 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Heat pumps in Greenhill: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Greenhill is close enough for sea air to matter. 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. Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Greenhill
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The brand, model and parts involved
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Greenhill.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
