Air source heat pumps in Round Street
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 air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and people most often call us about deciding on the outdoor unit position and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
In a place like Round Street, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Air source heat pumps in Round Street: the local picture
About 70% of homes across Round Street and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 89% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near St Mary's Room may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Homeowners near Sole Street station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
Round Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. From the centre of Round Street to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building.

Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
What owners can safely do
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Common questions in Round Street
Can I fit a heat pump in Round Street without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Round Street. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Gravesham council, typically the authority for Round Street.
Is Round Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home with an MCS certified installer.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. Hotels and businesses pay the standard rate. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
From one of our customers
“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.”
