About our air source heat pumps in Gardeners Green
We begin with a room-by-room 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. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Gardeners Green that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
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.

Air source heat pumps in Gardeners Green: the local picture
About 45% of homes in Gardeners Green and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to St Sebastian's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Gardeners Green.

- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit

How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures and we look at it during the survey.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It can’t be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Gardeners Green questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Gardeners Green?
Gardeners Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Gardeners Green?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Gardeners Green is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Gardeners Green, normally Wokingham council).
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you cover Gardeners Green?
Yes. Gardeners Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gardeners Green
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
