Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Parkgate
We install air source heat pumps in Parkgate and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. 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. We’re often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home in or near Parkgate is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Parkgate: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Parkgate?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Parkgate is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Parkgate?
It depends on the property. The centre of Parkgate is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Ashford council, which is normally the planning authority for Parkgate.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Parkgate can be planned properly.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Parkgate: the local picture
About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Smallhythe Place lies about 3.7 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

What else we do in Parkgate
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
