Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Westcott
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Westcott, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Westcott questions
Do you cover smaller places like Westcott?
Yes. Westcott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Westcott without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Westcott is in the Westcott Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Mole Valley council, which is usually the planning authority for Westcott.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler does not qualify as it has to meet the full heating demand.
How quickly will you reply?
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’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange one.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.

Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Planning ahead for a job in Westcott means we can bring everything needed.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If anything does not seem right after installation, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Westcott, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
When to call us in Westcott
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Older homes near St John's Community Hall may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What your quote should include
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
