Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Strood Green
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. We are often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Strood Green that’s 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.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Strood Green questions
Is Strood Green within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Strood Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Strood Green is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Air source heat pumps around Strood Green
On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Strood Green; Strood Green Farm House (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Christ Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Polesden Lacey lies about 4.6 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Strood Green around you.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
