Air source heat pumps in Green Park, 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 will need another way to do that. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and a boiler that’s getting old, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Green Park is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Green Park
Will you come out to Green Park?
Yes. Green Park is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will a heat pump in Green Park need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 0 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Green Park. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Reading council, normally the authority for Green Park first.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home; as an add-on to a boiler it does not qualify.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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.
How we price air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The pipe route between the units
- The condition of any existing system
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
For air source heat pumps in Green Park, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few photos if you can. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Green Park is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Hot water cylinders
