About our air source heat pumps in Wineham
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Common call-outs are for questions about where the outdoor unit can go and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Wineham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What we’re called out for in Wineham
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Look out for these signs:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- A boiler that is getting old
Ockenden Manor lies about 4.9 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- What records you get at the end
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Find out the grant position at the survey
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Wineham around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
Homes in Wineham and heat pumps
About 37 miles out from central London, Wineham is part of the South East area we work across. About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Wineham
Do you cover Wineham for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Wineham is within the area we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wineham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Wineham is in England, where it applies. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
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.”
