As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Kit's Coty and the rest of Kent.

We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and a boiler that’s getting old, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.

FAQs for Kit's Coty
Do you cover smaller places like Kit's Coty?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Kit's Coty?
Kit's Coty is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Kit's Coty, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep to regular servicing
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
When something else is needed
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly before you book.
