Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
Air source heat pumps in Wingham
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you are dealing with not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
For a home around Wingham that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your 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.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Wingham
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit

Common questions in Wingham
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wingham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Wingham is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Wingham within the area you cover?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Wingham.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wingham
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Heat pumps in Wingham: local notes
The centre of Wingham lies within a conservation area. About 74 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Wingham, Church of St Mary (grade I) among them. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Dover council, which normally handles Wingham. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes in Wingham and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to St Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
