About our air source heat pumps in Henley-on-Thames
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Cottages and older homes near Henley-on-Thames can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Henley-on-Thames can be done in one go where possible.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered, so check with the council.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules and we confirm it before anything is agreed.

FAQs for Henley-on-Thames
Is Henley-on-Thames within the area you cover?
Yes. Henley-on-Thames 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Henley-on-Thames?
It depends on the property. The St Mark's Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of Henley-on-Thames. 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 Henley-on-Thames, typically South Oxfordshire council) first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
