Air source heat pumps in Westcot
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and no space for a hot water cylinder, on underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Westcot, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

FAQs for Westcot
Is Westcot within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Westcot?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Westcot, if they qualify. 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 are MCS certified.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Westcot.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Advice
Pricing air source heat pumps in Westcot
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
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.
Heat pumps in Westcot: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of the Holy Rood (grade I). 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 the planning team at Vale of White Horse council, which normally handles Westcot. About 31% of homes in and around Westcot have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Holy Rood? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They do not heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
