Questions from Emmbrook
Is a heat pump in Emmbrook permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Emmbrook sits inside 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 Wokingham council, which is typically the planning authority for Emmbrook.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Emmbrook?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Emmbrook 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’re MCS certified.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before we start.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Air source heat pumps in Emmbrook
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. We are often asked to deal with checking whether planning permission is needed and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, across hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a house near Emmbrook, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
