At Guscott Heating Services, we install air source heat pumps across Ashford and the surrounding villages helping you cut energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and future-proof your home for decades to come.
If you live in Ashford, whether in one of the newer developments around the Chilmington Green or Victoria Point areas, a family home in Willesborough or Kennington, or a rural property out towards the Romney Marsh or the North Downs, you’ll know how much heating costs can add up. At Guscott Heating, we’ve been working with homeowners across the borough to install modern air source heat pumps that bring real savings on energy bills.
We’re seeing customers cut their heating costs significantly, often by nearly two thirds. On top of that, there’s a government grant available right now that covers up to seven and a half thousand pounds of the cost. That means you can make your home more energy efficient and more valuable, without the full upfront expense.
Ashford’s position as a major growth town — with thousands of new homes built and planned across the borough, means a large number of properties here are ideally configured for heat pump installation, and many of the area’s newer builds are already being designed with low-carbon heating in mind.
An air source heat pump isn’t just a short-term fix. It’s a smarter way to heat your home for the long term.

“I would give the team who installed headed by Sam Carne a 6 star rating if I could. Not only were they perfectly on time and with good workmanship, but they went above and beyond on every aspect of our full new heating installation. I would recommend them highly to anyone. Their service levels were an experience, not just a service. Thank you!”
Discover answers to some of the most common questions we have been asked by homeowners in Ashford about heat pumps. Whether you’re considering installation, maintenance, or just want to learn more about this efficient heating solution, we’ve got you covered.
Ashford has one of the most varied housing stocks in Kent — from brand-new builds on large-scale developments like Chilmington Green to older rural cottages out towards the Romney Marsh and Weald of Kent. The good news is that modern heat pump technology is well suited to both. Our team can assess your property’s suitability quickly with a free no-obligation survey, wherever you are in the borough.
In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps are covered by permitted development rights for the majority of residential properties in England. If your home is a listed building or sits within one of Ashford borough’s designated conservation areas — such as those covering parts of the town centre or historic villages like Tenterden — additional consent may be required. We’ll confirm all of this with you before any work begins.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently provides a grant of up to £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump for eligible homeowners. Ashford borough includes a significant number of rural and semi-rural properties that sit off the mains gas network — particularly around the Romney Marsh and the Weald — and these households may also qualify for further support through the Warm Homes: Local Grant scheme.
We cover Ashford and the wider surrounding area, including Tenterden, Hamstreet, Kingsnorth, Willesborough, Kennington, Charing, Headcorn, Shadoxhurst, Great Chart, Bethersden, and villages across the Ashford borough and into the Weald of Kent and Romney Marsh.
Yes. MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) accreditation is a mandatory requirement for any installation applying for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Guscott Heating Services is fully MCS accredited, ensuring every installation we carry out across the Ashford area meets national quality standards and is completely grant-eligible.
