Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Westmarsh
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about planning and permitted development questions and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Westmarsh need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
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 each visit is recorded.

Westmarsh: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Westmarsh?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Westmarsh, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Westmarsh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.

Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Air source heat pumps around Westmarsh
The centre of Westmarsh lies within a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 11 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Westmarsh; Wingham Barton Manor (grade II*) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? VOA council tax data put about 37% of homes in and around Westmarsh before 1919, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Goodnestone Park lies about 4.6 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
Westmarsh is about 7 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Across the CT3 area, we cover air source heat pumps. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Westmarsh among them. Bromley, roughly 55 miles off, has its own page on this site.

System by system
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the trip to Westmarsh around you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
