Air source heat pumps in Farley Hill, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Farley Hill is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Air source heat pumps around Farley Hill
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 53% of homes in the Farley Hill area were built in 2000 or later, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The middle of Farley Hill is part of a conservation area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Farley Hill. On the National Heritage List, around 12 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Farley Hill; Farley Hall (grade I) is one. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Wokingham council, normally the planning authority here where needed.
Older homes near St Eligius may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Farley Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Farley Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Farley Hill?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Farley Hill, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Farley Hill?
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.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Stratfield Saye House, roughly 3.9 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you get at the end
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Farley Hill easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
