- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it 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. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Chieveley so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

How we handle air source heat pumps in Chieveley
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Chieveley need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How we price air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What electrical work the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

What else we do in Chieveley
After we have gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Keep radiators clear
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
FAQs for Chieveley
Is the heat pump grant available in Chieveley?
Chieveley is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Chieveley?
Yes. Chieveley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Chieveley and across West Berkshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Homes in Chieveley and heat pumps
About 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The centre of Chieveley lies within the Chieveley Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Chieveley; Chieveley House (grade II*) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with West Berkshire council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Shaw House about 3.6 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
