Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Cox Green
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
If your home near Cox Green has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Cox Green
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Cox Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Cox Green is in a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Windsor and Maidenhead council, which is usually the planning authority for Cox Green.
Will you come out to Cox Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. The relief does not cover businesses, and this isn’t tax advice.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the visit to Cox Green from the survey or your pictures.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- 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
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Cox Green
- Air-to-water heat pumps

- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Hot water cylinders

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Planning ahead for a job near Cox Green means we can arrive with everything needed.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air source heat pumps around Cox Green
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 52% of homes in Cox Green and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Dorney Court lies about 3.2 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints' Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
