Homes in Frogmore and heat pumps
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Frogmore, you reach the Park Street and Frogmore Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 19 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Frogmore; Garden Cottage (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 40% of homes in Frogmore and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 62% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
High Elms Manor lies about 2.8 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What’s near Frogmore
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Old Red Lion pub and Marlborough Science Academy. Frogmore has its own railway station: How Wood station.

Air source heat pumps in Frogmore, done properly
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 do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Frogmore, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Frogmore?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Look out for any of the following:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
If you live near How Wood station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Somewhere like Frogmore, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Frogmore
Do you cover smaller places like Frogmore?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Frogmore?
Frogmore is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it 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 work begins.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Why act early in Frogmore
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Frogmore is done before the hot weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
