Air source heat pumps in Woodlands
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home around Woodlands that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What a heat pump looks like in Woodlands
The centre of Woodlands lies within a conservation area. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Sevenoaks council, which usually handles Woodlands before the heat pump design is finished. About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Lullingstone Castle lies about 3.2 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common questions in Woodlands
Do you cover smaller places like Woodlands?
Yes. Woodlands is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Woodlands?
Woodlands is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: 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. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Woodlands.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Parts of the system we cover
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Radiator systems
- Underfloor heating
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Hot water cylinders
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Diary the next service
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
