Heat pump installation in Park Wood, Medway
We cover Park Wood for MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Everything the job in Park Wood needs is worked out beforehand.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Park Wood
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Park Wood and the rest of Medway. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Whether a home near Park Wood 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.
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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Heat pumps in Park Wood: local notes
Park Wood is about 32 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 52% of homes in and around Park Wood date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 49% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Period properties close to St Paul's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Park Wood questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Park Wood?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Park Wood, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover Park Wood for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Park Wood is within the area we cover. To start, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
