Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hammill Park
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Typical jobs include plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
For a home around Hammill Park that is 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Questions from Hammill Park
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hammill Park?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hammill Park, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Hammill Park permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Hammill Park sits inside a conservation area. 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 Dover council, which is usually the planning authority for Hammill Park first.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Hammill Park.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

For landlords and property managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Heat pumps in Hammill Park: local notes
About 37% of homes in the Hammill Park area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary the Virgin? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Goodnestone Park about 2.6 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. Hot water needs a separate source so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
