How we handle air source heat pumps in Holyport
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Older and listed homes in villages like Holyport need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Holyport so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. Everything else is sized from it.
Common questions in Holyport
Can I fit a heat pump in Holyport without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Holyport. 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 Holyport, typically Windsor and Maidenhead council) first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Holyport?
Holyport is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your 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.
Which brands do you work with?
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’ll take it from there.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.

Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Diary the next service
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
