About our air source heat pumps in Iwade
We install air source heat pumps in Iwade and across Kent, and we are MCS certified. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. We are often asked to deal with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Whether a home near Iwade has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
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 anything chargeable is done.

Common questions in Iwade
Can I fit a heat pump in Iwade without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Iwade. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Iwade, typically Swale council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Iwade?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Iwade, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Iwade
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Iwade
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The pipe route between the units
- The condition of any existing system
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Heat pumps in Iwade: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Iwade is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 39% of homes in Iwade and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the visit to Iwade from the survey or your pictures.
