About our air source heat pumps in East Garston Woodlands
We install air source heat pumps in East Garston Woodlands and across West Berkshire, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near East Garston Woodlands, 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 the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
This is general information, not tax advice.
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems, and both cause problems.
What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near East Garston Woodlands is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Your questions about air source heat pumps in East Garston Woodlands
Do you cover smaller places like East Garston Woodlands?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in East Garston Woodlands?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: East Garston Woodlands is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
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 the survey helps decide.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in East Garston Woodlands
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Period properties close to St Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What else we do in East Garston Woodlands
Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
