Air source heat pumps in Henhurst
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Henhurst and the rest of Kent. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is not knowing whether a grant applies and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
Homes around Henhurst usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What else we do in Henhurst
Air source heat pumps around Henhurst
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 40% of homes in the Henhurst area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 47% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. About 22 miles out from central London, Henhurst is part of the South East area we work across.
If your home is listed, like Cobham College about 1 mile south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Henhurst, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Henhurst
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Margaret, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Henhurst questions
Will you come out to Henhurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Henhurst?
We do: Henhurst falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. Everything else is sized from it.
