How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Westborough
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Homes around Westborough normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What else we do in Westborough
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Westborough
Is Westborough within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Westborough?
We do: Westborough falls inside our working area. Just call 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Homes in Westborough and heat pumps
There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Westborough. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 38% of homes in the Westborough area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Guildford Castle about 1.4 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to St Francis Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Westborough.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep radiators clear
- File the MCS certificate safely
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
