Heat pump installation in Teynham Street, Kent
We cover Teynham Street for MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
The process
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Teynham Street are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Teynham Street
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
If your home in or near Teynham Street is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit

Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Teynham Street questions
Is a heat pump in Teynham Street permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Teynham Street. 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 needed, we check with Swale council, which is typically the planning authority for Teynham Street.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Teynham Street?
Teynham Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What else we do in Teynham Street
Air source heat pumps around Teynham Street
Teynham Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 35% of homes in and around Teynham Street were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
