How we handle air source heat pumps in Twitton
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
For a home around Twitton 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Twitton.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Twitton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Twitton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Twitton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Twitton, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
After we’ve gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.

Air source heat pumps in Twitton: the local picture
About 17 miles out from central London, Twitton is part of the South East area we work across. Central Twitton is inside a conservation area. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Sevenoaks council) before the heat pump design is finished.
If your home is one of the older properties near Twitton Mission Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Lullingstone Castle lies about 3.3 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
