Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Statenborough
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are no space for a hot water cylinder and planning and permitted development questions.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Statenborough, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Common questions in Statenborough
Is Statenborough within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Statenborough?
Statenborough 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 I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the next service
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
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 that’s normal.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Work in Statenborough is booked in advance at a time that suits you.

Homes in Statenborough and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The middle of Statenborough is part of a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 10 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Statenborough; Felderland House (grade II*) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally Dover council).
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St George? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Goodnestone Park about 4.2 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What kind of system it is
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call 07833 053749 or send an email.

“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.”
