Air source heat pumps in Teynham
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
If your home near Teynham has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Honest limits
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Teynham
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Teynham?
It can, as Teynham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Teynham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Cellar Hill and Greenstreet Conservation Area, close to central Teynham. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Swale council, typically the authority for Teynham.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is Teynham in your area?
Yes. We work in Teynham and across Kent, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler, and is MCS certified when we install it.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.

Air source heat pumps in Teynham: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Teynham. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 35% of homes in and around Teynham before 1919, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Homeowners near Teynham station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
