Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep radiators clear
- Diary the next service
- File the MCS certificate safely
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps in Marley
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home in or near Marley is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What affects the quote in Marley
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- What kind of system it is
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The condition of any existing system
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The address and the type of property
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Your installation or service records
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Marley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Heat pumps in Marley: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 29 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St John the Baptist (grade I). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 32% of homes in and around Marley have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures 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.
Historic houses such as Leeds Castle, about 2.5 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Common problems we fix in Marley
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Customers usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Homeowners near Harrietsham station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

FAQs for Marley
Will you come out to Marley?
Yes. Marley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Marley?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Marley is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
