About our air source heat pumps in Burnt Hill
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Burnt Hill, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the trip to Burnt Hill around you.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

What else we do in Burnt Hill
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- What kind of system it is
- What electrical work the job needs
- The brand, model and parts involved
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burnt Hill
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Heat pumps in Burnt Hill: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Basildon Park about 3.5 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Burnt Hill questions
Is Burnt Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will a heat pump in Burnt Hill need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Burnt Hill. 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 West Berkshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Burnt Hill first.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
A customer’s words
“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.”
