Air source heat pumps in Gawcott
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can help.
In a place like Gawcott, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Gawcott.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Gawcott questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Gawcott?
Gawcott is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can I fit a heat pump in Gawcott without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Gawcott sits inside the Gawcott Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Gawcott, typically Buckinghamshire council).
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Yes. Our engineers work in Gawcott, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Air source heat pumps in Gawcott: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 41% of homes in the Gawcott area were built in 2000 or later, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Stowe House lies about 3.5 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
