At Guscott Heating Services, we design and install air source heat pump systems for homes across Dartford.
Dartford Borough Council has been decarbonising its own buildings through the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, replacing old gas boilers with air source heat pumps at sites including the Civic Centre, Orchard Theatre and Fairfield Leisure Centre.
That local investment reflects a wider shift, and it’s backed by direct support for residents too: Dartford Borough Council currently promotes its own Warm Homes scheme, offering up to £7,500 towards an air source heat pump for eligible households, alongside broader Warm Homes: Local Grant funding running through to 2028.
With around two thirds of Dartford households owning their home outright or with a mortgage, a large proportion of local homeowners are in a position to make this switch directly.
If you live in Dartford, whether in a detached home off Priory Road, a terrace near Crayford, or a semi in one of the borough’s newer estates, you’ll know how much heating costs can add up. At Guscott Heating, we’ve been working with homeowners across the area 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.
If your home runs on mains gas, you could get up to £7,500 towards an air source heat pump. If you’re on oil or LPG, that grant has recently increased to £9,000, paid directly to your installer and taken straight off your quote, so there’s nothing for you to claim yourself.

“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!”
