What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. We plan the trip to Heath End around you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

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 on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749.
Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in Heath End
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking emitters for a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Older and listed homes in villages like Heath End need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Questions from Heath End
Can I fit a heat pump in Heath End without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Heath End. 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 local planning authority (for Heath End, usually South Oxfordshire council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Heath End?
Heath End 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Heath End?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Heath End.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Air source heat pumps in Heath End: the local picture
About 30% of homes in Heath End and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Greys Court lies about 4 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Heath End is about 7 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Heath End, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You will hear back from us the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire. Guildford, roughly 30 miles off, has its own page on this site.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Radiator systems
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Underfloor heating
- Hot water cylinders
Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
