Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Westcott
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and no space for a hot water cylinder, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Homes around Westcott typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Work in Westcott is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

FAQs for Westcott
Is Westcott within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit a heat pump in Westcott without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Westcott. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Westcott, typically Buckinghamshire council) first.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: 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 phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor, about 0.9 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
