About our air source heat pumps in Throwley Forstal
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Throwley Forstal that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go

FAQs for Throwley Forstal
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Throwley Forstal?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Throwley Forstal, if they qualify. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Throwley Forstal need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Throwley Forstal. 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 planning department at Swale council, typically the authority for Throwley Forstal.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£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 you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
