How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Halfway Street is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Halfway Street
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are planning and permitted development questions and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
In a place like Halfway Street, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we’re called out for in Halfway Street
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Older homes near Church of St Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Halfway Street
Is Halfway Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will a heat pump in Halfway Street need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Halfway Street sits inside a conservation area. 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 don’t 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 local planning authority (for Halfway Street, normally Dover council).
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. The relief isn’t available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Why act early in Halfway Street
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What electrical work the job needs
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
