Air source heat pumps in Goring
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
If your home near Goring has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Goring
Is the heat pump grant available in Goring?
Goring is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Goring?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Goring
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- A boiler that is getting old
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Period properties close to Church of St Thomas of Canterbury can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote

Heat pumps in Goring: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 41% of homes in and around Goring to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The Goring Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Goring, within about a third of a mile. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Goring and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 30 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Thomas of Canterbury (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with South Oxfordshire council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Basildon Park, roughly 1.8 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Goring.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
