Air source heat pumps in Stede Quarter
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you’re dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
In a place like Stede Quarter, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Stede Quarter questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Stede Quarter?
It depends on the property. Central Stede Quarter sits inside a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Stede Quarter, normally Ashford council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Stede Quarter?
Stede Quarter is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Stede Quarter?
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Customers normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What your quote should include
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
