What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Priestwood Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are a boiler that’s getting old and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
For a home around Priestwood Green that is 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.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What a heat pump looks like in Priestwood Green
Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Priestwood Green and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Parker's Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 3 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Priestwood Green’s centre. 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 the local planning authority (normally Gravesham council). About 45% of homes in and around Priestwood Green date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of Our Lady of the Meadow can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Cobham College about 2.9 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Common questions in Priestwood Green
Is the heat pump grant available in Priestwood Green?
Priestwood Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
Will you come out to Priestwood Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Priestwood Green and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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 manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.

Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it.

Related advice
After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
A customer’s words
“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.”
