Air source heat pumps in New Ash Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. We are often asked to deal with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and not knowing whether a grant applies, across hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around New Ash Green usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
Any radiator changes are set out in the quote, so you know the full scope.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to New Ash Green.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Do you need air source heat pumps in New Ash Green?
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. 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.
What we’re most often called about:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Older homes near Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Air source heat pumps in New Ash Green: the local picture
New Ash Green’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Corner Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Sevenoaks council) before the heat pump design is finished. Census 2021 figures found about 57% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Cobham College, roughly 4.3 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

New Ash Green questions
Is New Ash Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in New Ash Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including New Ash Green, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. For a village like New Ash Green, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
