Air source heat pumps in Linton, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Linton, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Linton.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Pricing air source heat pumps in Linton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The condition of any existing system
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
If you need air source heat pumps in Linton, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Rented and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Linton and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What we are called out for in Linton
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
What we are most often called about:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is one of the older properties near St Nicholas Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Proof of F-Gas company certification

Common questions in Linton
Will a heat pump in Linton need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Linton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Linton. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Linton, normally Maidstone council).
Do you cover smaller places like Linton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Are my radiators big enough 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 changes are in the quote.
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.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
