Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Wooden Hill
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about no space for a hot water cylinder and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
Older and listed homes in villages like Wooden Hill need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.
Heat pumps in Wooden Hill: local notes
At about 30 miles from central London, Wooden Hill sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. About 41% of homes in Wooden Hill and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Let and managed properties
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
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 each one has its own history.
Common questions in Wooden Hill
Is Wooden Hill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wooden Hill?
Wooden Hill 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Wooden Hill?
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
If your home is one of the older properties near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

From one of our customers
“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.”
