Air source heat pump installation in West Malling is giving homeowners a low-carbon alternative to the ageing heating systems found across the town.
West Malling’s housing stock spans grand period properties around the historic High Street and Malling Abbey conservation area through to modest post-war suburban homes and bungalows further out, with the latter often having the space and layout well suited to an external heat pump unit and standard radiator setup.
Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council ran the Home Upgrade Grant scheme with E.ON, funding air source heat pumps for residents on oil, LPG, coal or wood heating, and separately retrofitted 60 post-1945 borough homes with heat pumps and insulation through a £4.5 million government-backed decarbonisation project.
Installing a heat pump in one of these properties makes sense because they were built with straightforward heating layouts that adapt well to the technology, without the retrofit complications older listed buildings can present.
Whether you’re in a period property near the Abbey or a more modern home elsewhere in the town, heating costs add up fast.

Gas homes can get up to £7,500 towards installation, while oil or LPG homes now qualify for £9,000, deducted straight off your quote.

“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!”
