Air source heat pumps in Palmarsh
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are finding a place for the outdoor unit and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Whether a home near Palmarsh has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Palmarsh
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A boiler that is getting old
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- No space for a hot water cylinder
If your home is one of the older properties near Holy Cross, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- What records you get at the end
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What a heat pump looks like in Palmarsh
Palmarsh is within about 1 mile of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 40% of homes across Palmarsh and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 88% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
With Westenhanger Castle about 2.3 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Palmarsh
Will you come out to Palmarsh?
Yes. Palmarsh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Palmarsh?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Palmarsh, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights, so we check during the survey.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It 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. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
