Air source heat pumps in Seaton, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Seaton and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and people most often call us about checking whether planning permission is needed and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Seaton, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Air source heat pumps around Seaton
About 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
With Goodnestone Park about 3.2 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Andrew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What else we do in Seaton
What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Seaton, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

FAQs for Seaton
Is a heat pump in Seaton permitted development?
It depends on the property. The Ickham, Wickhambreaux and Seaton Conservation Area takes in the middle of Seaton. 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 planning department at Canterbury City council, normally the authority for Seaton first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Seaton?
Seaton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you cover Seaton?
Yes. Seaton is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Seaton
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
