Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Marley
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and no space for a hot water cylinder.
For a home around Marley that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Marley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
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.

Common problems we fix in Marley
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Common reasons people call us are:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Goodnestone Park, roughly 4.7 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Air source heat pumps in Marley: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Marley and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Canterbury City council, which usually handles Marley before the heat pump design is finished.
Older homes near Church of St Giles may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Marley
Is Marley within the area you cover?
Yes. Marley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Marley?
Yes. Marley is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 to book it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
