About our air source heat pumps in Kingsdown
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Kingsdown and the rest of Kent. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Kingsdown that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Kingsdown, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Common questions in Kingsdown
Is the heat pump grant available in Kingsdown?
Kingsdown 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Kingsdown?
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 set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, 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 you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Kingsdown
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- How many units are involved
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The address and the type of property
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Air source heat pumps around Kingsdown
Kingsdown’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Kingsdown Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Kingsdown, including Newbury Farm House North (grade II*). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (normally Swale council) before the heat pump design is finished. The 2021 Census found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Catherine, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Belmont House and Gardens, roughly 3.9 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

What happens if it’s left?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
