About our air source heat pumps in High Halden
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near High Halden, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

High Halden questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in High Halden?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: High Halden is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to High Halden?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Other services in High Halden
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Book a yearly service
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in High Halden.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Advice
For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Homes in High Halden and heat pumps
The centre of High Halden lies within a conservation area. Parish Church of St Mary, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 26 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around High Halden’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Ashford council, normally the planning authority here. About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Parish Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, about 4.6 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Woodgates Close, Little Robhurst and Tilden Close or anywhere close by, our engineers can take on the work.

Leave it or put it right?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. An early booking makes the visit to High Halden easier to arrange.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
