Air source heat pumps in Bray Wick, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Bray Wick, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

FAQs for Bray Wick
Can I fit a heat pump in Bray Wick without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Bray Wick is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Windsor and Maidenhead council, typically the authority for Bray Wick.
Do you cover smaller places like Bray Wick?
Yes. Bray Wick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Bray Wick

Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The make and model of the system, from the label

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
