About our air source heat pumps in Womenswold
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. We are often asked to deal with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Womenswold is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. For a village like Womenswold, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.

Heat pumps in Womenswold: local notes
About 35% of homes in Womenswold and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The middle of Womenswold is part of the Womenswold Conservation Area. There are 4 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Womenswold. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Margaret (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Dover council, which typically handles Womenswold before the heat pump design is finished.
With Goodnestone Park about 2.8 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Church of St Margaret may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What air source heat pumps can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council

Managing agents and facilities teams in Womenswold
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from Womenswold
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Womenswold?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Womenswold is in England, where it applies. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Womenswold?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need to service the system to keep 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. Keep every service record either way.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
