How we handle air source heat pumps in Coley Park
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder.
Cottages and older homes near Coley Park can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Air source heat pumps around Coley Park
VOA council tax data show about 30% of homes in Coley Park and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households live in flats. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit.
For a home near Reading West station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Live in one of the older houses around All Nations Christian Centre? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Common questions in Coley Park
Do you cover smaller places like Coley Park?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Coley Park?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 33 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Coley Park. 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 local planning authority (for Coley Park, usually Reading council) first.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
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.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site 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, and we clear up before we go. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Coley Park.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
