At Guscott Heating Services, we install air source heat pumps across Margate and the surrounding area, helping you cut energy bills significantly and reduce your home’s carbon footprint for good.
If you live in Margate, whether in a Georgian townhouse in the Old Town, a Victorian terrace in Cliftonville, a family home in Westbrook or Garlinge, or a property right on the seafront with uninterrupted views across Margate Sands, you’ll know how much heating costs can add up.
At Guscott Heating, we’ve been working with homeowners across the Thanet district 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 £7500 of the cost. That means you can make your home more energy efficient and more valuable, without the full upfront expense.
Switching to an air source heat pump gives Margate homeowners a heating system specifically engineered to extract warmth from outside air even in those conditions, while dramatically cutting the cost of doing so.
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 fits naturally with Margate’s growing reputation as a community that thinks differently and looks boldly to the future.

“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 Margate 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.
Margate has one of the most characterful and varied housing stocks in Kent — from Georgian and Regency properties in the Old Town and Cliftonville, to Victorian seafront terraces, post-war semis in Garlinge, and modern homes on the outskirts of town. Modern heat pump technology is well suited across all of these property types, and our team can assess your home’s suitability quickly with a free no-obligation survey.
In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps fall under permitted development rights for the majority of residential properties in England. Margate has conservation areas covering its historic Old Town, parts of Cliftonville, and the seafront — and a number of properties in these areas are listed buildings. If your home is within a conservation area or is listed, additional consent from Thanet District Council will likely be required, and we’ll advise you fully on this 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. Thanet is one of the areas in Kent where fuel poverty remains a genuine concern for many households, and additional support may be available through the Warm Homes: Local Grant scheme for lower-income households or those not connected to the mains gas network.
We cover Margate and the wider Thanet area, including Cliftonville, Westbrook, Garlinge, Birchington, Westgate-on-Sea, St Nicholas-at-Wade, Acol, Minnis Bay, and communities across the Isle of Thanet.
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 Thanet district meets national quality standards and is completely grant-eligible.
