About our air source heat pumps in Watchmoor
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
If your home near Watchmoor has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Watchmoor
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Watchmoor?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Watchmoor, if they qualify. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Watchmoor?
Yes. Watchmoor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Everything the job in Watchmoor needs is worked out beforehand.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

For landlords and property managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What a heat pump looks like in Watchmoor
At about 31 miles from central London, Watchmoor sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Watchmoor and it takes in 3 conservation areas. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Rushmoor council, usually the planning authority here.
Period properties close to St Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Homeowners near Blackwater station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.

“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.”
