About our air source heat pumps in Pizien Well
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Pizien Well, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Pizien Well: your questions answered
Is Pizien Well within the area you cover?
Yes. Pizien Well is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Pizien Well?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Pizien Well is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it 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 Pizien Well.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Heat pumps in Pizien Well: local notes
The middle of Pizien Well is part of the Pizien Well, Wateringbury Conservation Area. In the mile around Pizien Well’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 17 within half a mile of the centre, such as Good Intent Cottage (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Maidstone council, typically the planning authority here. About 58% of homes in Pizien Well and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Old Soar Manor lies about 3.5 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- How easy the units are to reach

Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What we’re called out for in Pizien Well
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 and that is the appeal for many households.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Period properties close to Church of St John the Baptist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- If the figure could change on the day
