Air source heat pumps in Throwley
We install air source heat pumps in Throwley and across Kent, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Throwley 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, on top of the £7,500.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Throwley questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Throwley?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 9 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Throwley. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Swale council, usually the authority for Throwley first.
Do you cover smaller places like Throwley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Which brands do you work with?
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 explain why.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
System by system
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Throwley, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749.
Advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Throwley?
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
If your home is listed, like Belmont House and Gardens about 0.6 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- What’s in the price and what is not
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
