How we handle air source heat pumps in Goosey
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Goosey that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it 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. If a lane or gateway near Goosey is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
FAQs for Goosey
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Goosey?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Goosey, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is a heat pump in Goosey permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Goosey Conservation Area is close to the centre of Goosey. 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 the local planning authority (for Goosey, usually Vale of White Horse council).
Do you work in Goosey?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Goosey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
What we’re called out for in Goosey
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Common reasons people call us include:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Why it’s worth doing now in Goosey
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Homes in Goosey and heat pumps

Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
