How we handle air source heat pumps in Liverton Street
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 doesn’t qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and working out where a cylinder could go.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Liverton Street, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Common questions in Liverton Street
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Liverton Street?
Liverton Street is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Liverton Street?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Heat pumps in Liverton Street: local notes
Central Liverton Street is inside the Liverton Street Conservation Area. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Liverton Street. About 13 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Liverton Street, Church of St Nicholas (grade II*) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Maidstone council, which typically handles Liverton Street before the heat pump design is finished. About 32% of homes in the Liverton Street area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Leeds Castle about 3.1 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
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. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Liverton Street.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
