Air source heat pumps in Enborne, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and ageing boilers that will need replacing, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
In a place like Enborne, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Enborne questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Enborne?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Enborne holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. 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 West Berkshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Enborne.
Is Enborne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749.
Don’t 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 electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Air source heat pumps in Enborne: the local picture
About 48% of homes in Enborne and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Parish Church of St Michael can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Historic houses such as Benham Park, about 1.2 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Enborne.
