About our air source heat pumps in Perry
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about ageing boilers that will need replacing and checking emitters for a heat pump.
For a home around Perry that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: 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. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Perry can be planned properly.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Get a fixed-price quote
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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Perry questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Perry?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Perry is in a conservation area. 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 planning department at Dover council, normally the authority for Perry.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Perry?
Perry is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Perry and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do you cover Perry?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Perry included.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Perry
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If your home is one of the older properties near Elmstone Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
What a heat pump looks like in Perry
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes in Perry and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Goodnestone Park about 3.1 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
