At Guscott Heating Services, we install air source heat pumps in Sittingbourne that provide reliable heating while helping you reduce your energy bills and cut down on carbon emissions.
If you live in Sittingbourne, whether in a modern new-build on the outskirts of town, a semi-detached home in Murston or Borden, or a period property closer to the High Street, you’ll know how much heating costs can add up. At Guscott Heating, we’ve been working with homeowners across the Swale 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. Sittingbourne sits within the Swale borough, one of the areas in Kent where a significant proportion of homes still rely on older gas heating systems making the switch to a heat pump both a financially smart and environmentally responsible decision.
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 becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners right across the Sittingbourne area and the wider Isle of Sheppey corridor.

“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!”

The majority of homes in Sittingbourne are well-suited to air source heat pump installation.

In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps fall under permitted development rights for most residential properties in England. If your home is a listed building or sits within a designated conservation area within the Swale borough, additional checks may be required — we’ll guide you through this before any work begins.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers a grant of up to £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump for eligible homeowners. If you’re in a lower-income household or your home is off the mains gas grid — as some rural properties around Sittingbourne are — you may also be eligible for additional support through the Warm Homes: Local Grant scheme.
