Managing agents and facilities teams in Dedworth

If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Dedworth

Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are comparing heat pump types and checking whether planning permission is needed.

Cottages and older homes near Dedworth can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.

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, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Dedworth

Can I fit a heat pump in Dedworth without planning permission?

The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Dedworth 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 the local planning authority (for Dedworth, usually Windsor and Maidenhead council).

Will you come out to Dedworth?

We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?

Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

How much does an air source heat pump cost?

Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.

How long will it take to install a heat pump?

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. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.

Do I get paperwork after the visit?

Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Dedworth?

Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
  • Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
  • Working out whether radiators need upsizing

Live in one of the older houses around All Saints Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
  • Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
  • If the figure could change on the day

How to choose an air conditioning engineer

How it works

Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Dedworth.

  1. Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
  2. On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
  3. A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
  4. Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
  5. Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.

Before we arrive

  • Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
  • Let us know where we can park and unload
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

How to get a quote

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
