What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Air source heat pumps in Harpsden Bottom
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 anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and checking whether planning permission is needed.
For a home around Harpsden Bottom that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Harpsden Bottom questions
Do you cover smaller places like Harpsden Bottom?
Yes. Harpsden Bottom 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Harpsden Bottom?
Harpsden Bottom is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
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.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

Common problems we fix in Harpsden Bottom
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. 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.
What we’re most often called about:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Older homes near Church of St Margaret may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Why act early in Harpsden Bottom

Air source heat pumps in Harpsden Bottom: the local picture
About 90% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Harpsden Bottom. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with South Oxfordshire council, typically the planning authority here where necessary.
Greys Court lies about 2.3 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
