- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Grove Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Whether a home near Grove Green has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, 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.

Grove Green questions
Will you come out to Grove Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Grove Green without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Grove Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Maidstone council, which is typically the planning authority for Grove Green first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Grove Green?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Luke, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
