Air source heat pumps in Peters Village, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Peters Village can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
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.

Common problems we fix in Peters Village
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary's 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 they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Peters Village questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Peters Village?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Peters Village holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Peters Village, normally Tonbridge and Malling council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Peters Village?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Peters Village, if they qualify. 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 landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to a place like Peters Village are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
