The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Air source heat pumps in Woodham Walter, done properly
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are a boiler that’s getting old and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
In a place like Woodham Walter, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What happens if it’s left?
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.

Woodham Walter questions
Is Woodham Walter 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Woodham Walter?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Woodham Walter 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights, so we check during the survey.
Rented and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes, and we tidy up before we leave. For a village like Woodham Walter, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.

Air source heat pumps around Woodham Walter
The Woodham Walter Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Woodham Walter, within about a third of a mile. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Woodham Walter. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Woodham Walter, Church of St Michael (grade II*) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 82% 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.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Michael, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Danbury Place about 2.9 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
