About our air source heat pumps in Pedlinge
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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 radiator systems, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Pedlinge, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Air source heat pumps around Pedlinge
At about 2 miles from the coast, Pedlinge is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Yew Tree House and Yew Tree Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Folkestone and Hythe council, which normally handles Pedlinge before the heat pump design is finished. About 40% of homes in the Pedlinge 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. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Pedlinge Chapel may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What we are called out for in Pedlinge

How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Pedlinge.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Related advice
Pedlinge: your questions answered
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Pedlinge?
It can. Pedlinge is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Pedlinge?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Pedlinge, 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation 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 or drop us a line to book it.
Do you cover Pedlinge?
Yes. We cover Pedlinge and the rest of Kent, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
