Advice
Air source heat pumps in Pluckley
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include questions about where the outdoor unit can go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes around Pluckley normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Pluckley questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Pluckley?
Pluckley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will a heat pump in Pluckley need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Pluckley 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 Ashford council, usually the authority for Pluckley.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.

Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Pluckley
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. 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:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
With Godinton House about 3.6 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
