Common problems we fix in Kentsboro
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
What we are most often called about:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

About our air source heat pumps in Kentsboro
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
If your home in or near Kentsboro is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Kentsboro
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What state the existing equipment is in
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Questions from Kentsboro
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Kentsboro?
Kentsboro is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Kentsboro?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Kentsboro are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.

How to prepare

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Kentsboro
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Kentsboro.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
