Birch Hill questions
Is Birch Hill in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Birch Hill is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Birch Hill?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Birch Hill is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Birch Hill and across Bracknell Forest. Let us know who the records should go to.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Birch Hill
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Older homes around Birch Hill can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit 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. Because we plan from pictures or a survey, a job in Birch Hill can normally be finished in one visit.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Birch Hill
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Period properties close to St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
