How we handle air source heat pumps in Westerton
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If the problem is questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Westerton, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
Air source heat pumps in Westerton: the local picture
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Mandage House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Westerton’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Chichester council, typically the planning authority here where necessary.
If your home is listed, like Goodwood House about 0.8 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Westerton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice
Common questions in Westerton
Is the heat pump grant available in Westerton?
Westerton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is Westerton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
