Heat pump installers in Holme Green
Our engineers work in Holme Green on air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Rented and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Wokingham. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Holme Green
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Typical jobs include ageing boilers that will need replacing and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Holme Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Homes in Holme Green and heat pumps
About 43% of homes in the Holme Green area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 72% 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. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

What happens on the day
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the trip to Holme Green around you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

When to call us in Holme Green
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Planning and permitted development questions
If your home is one of the older properties near St Sebastian's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What your quote should include
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
Pricing air source heat pumps in Holme Green
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the job
- What electrical work the job needs
- What state the existing equipment is in
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Holme Green: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Holme Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Holme Green is in a conservation area. 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 Wokingham council, which is usually the planning authority for Holme Green first.
Do you cover smaller places like Holme Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does servicing affect my 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.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. Hotels and businesses pay the standard rate. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
