Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Great Hollands
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
For a house near Great Hollands, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Great Hollands questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Great Hollands?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Great Hollands is in England, where it applies. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Great Hollands?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Great Hollands holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at Bracknell Forest council, usually the authority for Great Hollands.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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 are happy to show ours.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Great Hollands
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How easy the units are to reach
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
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 unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The address and the type of property
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Great Hollands can be done in one go where possible.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.

Heat pumps in Great Hollands: local notes
About 41% of homes across Great Hollands and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
