Pootings air source heat pumps
Air source heat pumps in Pootings from an F-Gas certified company, with warranty terms explained brand by brand. Enquiries answered the same working day.
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Owner checks or an engineer?
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Pootings
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Pootings need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. 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. Work in Pootings is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Advice
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Pootings
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What state the existing equipment is in
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Why deal with it now?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Air source heat pumps in Pootings: the local picture
At about 20 miles from central London, Pootings sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. The middle of Pootings is part of a conservation area. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Pootings, Pootings Manor (grade II) among them. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally Sevenoaks council).
Chartwell, roughly 1.4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near Congregational Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Pootings is about 6 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent.

FAQs for Pootings
Is the heat pump grant available in Pootings?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Pootings is in England, where it applies. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Pootings?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
