Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Rodmersham 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. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and checking whether planning permission is needed, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Rodmersham Green need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What affects the quote in Rodmersham Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
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, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a village like Rodmersham Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

FAQs for Rodmersham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Rodmersham Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Rodmersham Green without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Rodmersham Green Conservation Area is close to the centre of Rodmersham Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Rodmersham Green, usually Swale council) first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
