About our air source heat pumps in Yalding
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Yalding usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What else we do in Yalding
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Questions from Yalding
Will a heat pump in Yalding need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Yalding Conservation Area takes in the middle of Yalding. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Maidstone council, which is usually the planning authority for Yalding.
Will you come out to Yalding?
Yes. Yalding is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of any existing system
- What electrical work the job needs
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
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 have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring us on 07833 053749.
Heat pumps in Yalding: local notes
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around St Peter's and St Paul's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Yalding is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
