Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Moorstock
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, 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 air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
For a home around Moorstock that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Heat pumps in Moorstock: local notes
About 40% of homes in Moorstock and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 88% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Westenhanger Castle, roughly 1.6 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Moorstock is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Whatever kind of property you have in Moorstock, we can help with air source heat pumps.

Moorstock: your questions answered
Will you come out to Moorstock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Moorstock?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Moorstock holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Folkestone and Hythe council, which is usually the planning authority for Moorstock.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home; as an add-on to a boiler it does not qualify.
What air conditioning won’t do
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Moorstock easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Moorstock.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Moorstock
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The pipe route between the units
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The address and the type of property
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
