Stone: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Stone need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stone. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Stone, normally Dartford council).
Is Stone within the area you cover?
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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do you work on all makes?
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 tell you why.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stone
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Stone and the rest of Kent. 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 help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is checking emitters for a heat pump and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Stone can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
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.

The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Stone.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Stone
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
