Common questions in Wivelrod
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wivelrod?
Wivelrod is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 are MCS certified.
Is Wivelrod in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Wivelrod is part of that. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Air source heat pumps in Wivelrod, done properly
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Wivelrod that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

When to call us in Wivelrod
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
If your home is one of the older properties near Chapel of Alton Abbey, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Wivelrod.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.

Advice
Also in Wivelrod
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- File the MCS certificate safely
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Why deal with it now?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. An early booking makes the visit to Wivelrod easier to arrange.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll talk you through it.
