South Green air source heat pumps
Air source heat pumps across South Green and nearby, from the first look to the final check and a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to South Green easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in South Green
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
For a home around South Green that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air source heat pumps around South Green
About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central South Green, South Green Farmhouse (grade II) among them. 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 Maidstone council, usually the planning authority here. Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Leeds Castle, roughly 4.4 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around St Mary Magdalene Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

South Green questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: South Green is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to South Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
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 written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent and we check what applies to you.
Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.

Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Getting the date in early helps for a place like South Green.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
