About our air source heat pumps in Oad Street
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and comparing heat pump types, we can sort it out.
For a home around Oad Street that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

When to call us in Oad Street
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Common questions in Oad Street
Is Oad Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Oad Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Oad Street?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Oad Street, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
How soon will you get back to me?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
What affects the quote in Oad Street
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

What else we do in Oad Street
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Oad Street, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air source heat pumps in Oad Street: the local picture
About 48% of homes in the Oad Street area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Oad Street; Yew Tree Cottage (grade II*) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Swale council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
