About air source heat pumps in Wokingham
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Common call-outs are for deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
What affects the price in Wokingham
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Common problems we fix in Wokingham
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The installer applies.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating.

Questions from Wokingham
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it won’t qualify.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief is not available to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
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’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
