How we handle air source heat pumps in Kingswood
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Kingswood is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Kingswood.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Booking before summer means the work in Kingswood is done before the hot weather.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Kingswood
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Common problems we fix in Kingswood
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Look out for these signs:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
