About our air source heat pumps in Wigmore
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about moving away from fossil-fuel heating and no space for a hot water cylinder.
Homes around Wigmore usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How we price air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, 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 in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749.

What else we do in Wigmore
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
Air source heat pumps in Wigmore: the local picture
Wigmore is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 48% of homes across Wigmore and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Paul's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Restoration House, about 4.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Different systems, different jobs
VAT on heat pumps
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%, under HMRC Notice 708/6. It does not apply to businesses.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Wigmore can be done in one go where possible.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare

Advice
Wigmore: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Wigmore?
It can, as Wigmore is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wigmore?
Wigmore is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work in Wigmore?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Wigmore included.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
