Air source heat pumps in Wittersham, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Wittersham and across Kent, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you are dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can help.
For a home around Wittersham that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What we do, step by step
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. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Wittersham is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Advice
When to call us in Wittersham
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Period properties close to Parish Church of St John the Baptist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.

What a heat pump looks like in Wittersham
Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Smallhythe Place about 1.6 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Wittersham is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN30 area, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Eastbourne, roughly 24 miles from Wittersham.
Not far from Wittersham, a recent job of ours was on Mermaid Street, Rye (TN31), about 5 miles south: installing three Fujitsu wall-mounted units in guest bedrooms, with the outdoor units positioned in the hotel’s walled rear garden.
From The Street, Poplar Road and Swan Cottages to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. The B2082 pass through or close to Wittersham, which keeps journeys to surveys and visits simple. If you are just outside Wittersham, we cover Acton (1 mile north-east), The Stocks (1 mile east), Stone Corner (1 mile north-east), Reading Street (2 miles north-east) and Stone in Oxney (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (11 miles north-east), Tenterden (4 miles north), Kennington (13 miles north-east) and New Romney (11 miles east).

Wittersham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wittersham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Wittersham without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Wittersham sits inside a conservation area. 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Ashford council, usually the authority for Wittersham.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
