About our air source heat pumps in Hollingbourne
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Homes around Hollingbourne normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Seal draughts where you can
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep radiators clear
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Hollingbourne: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hollingbourne?
Hollingbourne is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover smaller places like Hollingbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
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 quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
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.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

What else we do in Hollingbourne
Homes in Hollingbourne and heat pumps
Central Hollingbourne is inside the Hollingbourne Upper Street Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hollingbourne. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 26 within half a mile of the centre, such as Hollingbourne Manor (grade I). 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 the planning team at Maidstone council, which normally handles Hollingbourne. About 32% of homes in and around Hollingbourne have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around All Saints Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Leeds Castle about 1.3 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Hollingbourne easier.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
