Air source heat pumps in Peene, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Peene and the rest of Kent. 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. Typical jobs include checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, on radiator systems, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
For a home around Peene that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Peene.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare

Common questions in Peene
Will a heat pump in Peene need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Peene holds about 8 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 the local planning authority (for Peene, typically Folkestone and Hythe council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Peene?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Peene, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you work in Peene?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Peene.
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Keep to regular servicing
- Ask about the grant before you commit
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Heat pumps in Peene: local notes
Peene is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Census 2021 figures found about 44% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Older homes near Church of St Nicholas may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Acrise Place, roughly 2.7 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
