At Guscott Heating Services, we install air source heat pumps in Maidstone that provide reliable heating while helping you reduce your energy bills and cut down on carbon emissions.
If you live in Maidstone, whether in a semi-detached home in Bearsted, a detached property out towards Headcorn, or a period terrace near the town centre — 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.
Maidstone Borough Council has also actively backed low-carbon heating, even investing in air source heat pump installation at its own council offices through the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
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, and one that’s increasingly popular across Maidstone and the wider Medway Valley.
When it comes to air source heat pump installation, Guscott Heating Services makes it easy to start the process with our online heat pump quote tool.

“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 Maidstone 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.
Most homes across Maidstone are suitable, including the borough’s large stock of semi-detached and detached properties. Whether your home is in Park Wood, Allington, or the rural outskirts near the North Downs, our team can assess suitability quickly with a free survey.
In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps are usually covered by permitted development rights in England. However, if your Maidstone home is in a conservation area — such as parts of the historic town centre near All Saints’ Church or the Archbishop’s Palace — additional restrictions may apply, and we’ll advise 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. Maidstone Borough Council has also previously supported the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2) scheme for lower-income households not connected to the mains gas network.
For most homes in Maidstone, installation is completed within one to two days. Larger or older properties, such as detached homes on the rural edges of the borough, may require an additional day depending on the existing heating system.
In most cases, yes. Many Maidstone homeowners are making a full switch from gas boilers to heat pumps. In some cases, a hybrid system — pairing a heat pump with your existing boiler — can be a cost-effective transitional option, particularly in older properties.
