Air source heat pumps in Woolstone, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is not knowing whether a grant applies and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
For a home around Woolstone 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Woolstone questions
Do you cover smaller places like Woolstone?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will a heat pump in Woolstone need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Woolstone sits inside the Woolstone Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Woolstone, normally Vale of White Horse council) first.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. An early booking makes the visit to Woolstone easier to arrange.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Use the settings explained at handover
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets.

Air source heat pumps around Woolstone
About 40% of homes in and around Woolstone have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is listed, like Ashdown House about 3.7 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
