Heat pumps in Maidstone

We work regularly in Maidstone, so we know the property stock: county town housing, commercial premises and the surrounding villages. That shortens the survey and means the outdoor unit ends up somewhere that works both technically and visually.

Most properties in Maidstone are on mains gas. The heat pump case here is about running cost parity with gas rather than a dramatic saving, plus removing the boiler, the flue and the gas standing charge. It hinges entirely on achieving a low flow temperature, which is a design question we settle at survey.

What we do most often in Maidstone

Every job starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free and with no obligation. If a heat pump is not right for your property, we will tell you at that stage rather than after you have paid for one.

What we install in Maidstone

Air source heat pumps

The standard choice for most homes in Maidstone. An outdoor unit takes heat from the air and feeds your radiators, underfloor heating and hot water.

Air source

Ground source heat pumps

Buried ground loops or boreholes give the highest efficiency and the lowest running costs, where you have the land for it.

Ground source

Air to air heat pumps

Warm air straight into the room, and cooling in summer. No hot water, but the cheapest way in and now grant eligible.

Air to air

Commercial heat pumps

Offices, retail, care homes, schools and light industrial premises, designed around real building loads and run hours.

Maidstone heat pump questions

How much does heat pump installation cost in Maidstone?

An air source system typically costs £9,000 to £14,000 before grant, and more on large or period property. After the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant most households in Maidstone pay between £1,500 and £6,500.

Do you install heat pumps in Maidstone?

Yes. Maidstone is within our normal working radius from Tunbridge Wells, so we survey, install, service and attend breakdowns there as standard.

Will my radiators need replacing?

Some of them, usually four to six in a typical three-bed. Heat pumps run at a lower flow temperature than boilers, so radiators need to be larger to emit the same heat. The room-by-room heat loss survey tells us exactly which.

Do I need planning permission?

Most domestic air source installations in Maidstone are permitted development, and the rules were relaxed in May 2025. The MCS 020(a) noise assessment still has to pass. Listed buildings always need consent and conservation areas need checking, which we do before designing the unit position.
