Services
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground Source Heat Pumps harness stable underground temperatures to provide highly efficient heating and cooling. Our expert design ensures optimal ground loop placement, reducing energy costs by up to 70% compared to traditional systems. Ideal for properties with available land, these systems offer long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps extract ambient heat from the air to provide cost-effective heating and hot water. With 3-4 units of heat produced per electricity unit consumed, our installations deliver significant energy savings while maintaining quiet operation and year-round performance in diverse weather conditions.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating systems distribute warmth evenly through floors, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency. We design bespoke solutions compatible with renewable energy sources, ensuring seamless integration with heat pumps for optimal low-temperature operation and reduced running costs in residential and commercial spaces.
Commercial Energy Solutions
We deliver scalable renewable heating systems for commercial properties, including factories, workshops, and leisure facilities. Our projects integrate heat pumps with underfloor heating and cooling circuits to meet high-demand environments while complying with sustainability targets and reducing operational expenses.
Servicing and Repairs
Our maintenance plans ensure long-term performance of heat pump systems through regular inspections and diagnostics. We offer prompt repair services to minimise downtime, extending system lifespan and maintaining efficiency for both domestic and commercial installations across Kent and East Sussex.

Questions
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides £7,500 grants for installing low-carbon heat pumps. We handle the application process, reducing your upfront costs for eligible installations.
How much do air source heat pumps cost?
Domestic installations typically range from £12,000 to £15,500, depending on system size and property requirements. Grants can offset £7,500 of these costs.
Are heat pumps suitable for older homes?
Yes. We assess insulation and heat loss to design systems compatible with older properties, ensuring efficient performance without structural compromises.
How long does installation take?
Most domestic installations complete within 6 working days, with commercial projects varying based on system complexity and site conditions.
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Air source models operate efficiently down to -20°C, while ground source systems leverage stable underground temperatures for year-round reliability.
What maintenance do heat pumps require?
Annual servicing ensures optimal performance. Our maintenance plans include inspections, cleaning, and efficiency checks to prolong system lifespan and maintain warranties.
