Air source heat pumps in Bradwell Wick
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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Bradwell Wick, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, 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. We plan the trip to Bradwell Wick around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Bradwell Wick
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Older homes near Church of St Lawrence may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Bradwell Wick: your questions answered
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Bradwell Wick?
It can. Bradwell Wick is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will you come out to Bradwell Wick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
