F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Westley for air source heat pumps. Fixed-price quotes and a 24/7 emergency line.
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Westley
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include checking whether planning permission is needed and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a place like Westley, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Air source heat pumps around Westley
VOA council tax data date about 47% of homes in and around Westley to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. About 63 miles out from central London, Westley is part of the South East area we work across.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Stephen, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What we’re called out for in Westley
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- A boiler that’s getting old
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What to look for in a quote
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Westley
Do you cover smaller places like Westley?
Yes. Westley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Westley?
Westley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.

Advice
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
