How we handle air source heat pumps in Wennington
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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. We are often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
Terraced houses in a London area like Wennington can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business

What air conditioning won’t do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.
Common questions in Wennington
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Wennington?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wennington?
Wennington is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Air source heat pumps around Wennington
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 47% of homes in and around Wennington date from 1919 to 1939, and about 37% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is listed, like Rainham Hall about 1.5 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary and St Peter's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
