Signs you need air source heat pumps in Burnham
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
What we’re most often called about:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
If your home is listed, like Dorney Court about 1.9 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
How we handle air source heat pumps in Burnham
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 are dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can sort it out.
Whether a home near Burnham has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
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.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Around Burnham, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

What owners can safely do
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Burnham
Is Burnham within the area you cover?
Yes. Burnham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Burnham?
Burnham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Homes in Burnham and heat pumps
The Burnham Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Burnham. In the mile around Burnham’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St Peter, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 42 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Burnham’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (usually Buckinghamshire council). Burnham is about 24 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Live in one of the older houses around St Peter's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the next service
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
