Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Poverest
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
For flats in Poverest, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
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 every service is written up.

FAQs for Poverest
Is Poverest in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Poverest is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is the heat pump grant available in Poverest?
Poverest is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
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 members of Checkatrade too.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Poverest
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Poverest.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Homes in Poverest and heat pumps
In the mile around Poverest’s centre, 6 conservation areas have been designated. 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 Bromley council). About 35% of homes across Poverest and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If you live near St Mary Cray station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Period properties close to St Andrew's can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
