What we’re called out for in Britwell
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
With Dorney Court about 2.9 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- If the figure could change on the day
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Britwell
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you’re dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
For a house near Britwell, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Britwell
Will you come out to Britwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Britwell without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Britwell. 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 planning department at Slough council, normally the authority for Britwell first.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Diary the next service
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
For landlords and property managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Air source heat pumps around Britwell
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 45% of homes in and around Britwell to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
