Air-to-air heat pumps for Kidsgrove homes
Homes around Kidsgrove range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Extensions and garden rooms in Kidsgrove that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. Flats in Kidsgrove on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
For terraced homes in Kidsgrove, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Kidsgrove can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Kidsgrove: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Kidsgrove house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Kidsgrove home.
Can you service a heat pump in Kidsgrove that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Kidsgrove, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Kidsgrove?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Staffordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
Are air-to-air heat pumps suitable for flats?
Often, yes. They need no radiators, pipework or cylinder, so they suit flats heated by storage or panel heaters. You need a position for the outdoor unit, such as a balcony, wall bracket or ground-floor yard, and leaseholders normally need the freeholder's or management company's consent. Planning rules for flats differ by nation, so we check what applies at survey.
