Air source heat pumps in Home Farm, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
For a home around Home Farm that’s 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.
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 anything chargeable is done.

What happens on the day
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 we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Home Farm.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What a heat pump looks like in Home Farm
At about 31 miles from central London, Home Farm sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 32% of homes in Home Farm and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 39% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Older homes near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Home Farm is about 1 mile north-east of Crowthorne, in Bracknell Forest. Whatever kind of property you have in Home Farm, we can help with air source heat pumps. You’ll hear back from us the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. We cover 41 places across Bracknell Forest, large and small. Guildford is in our area too, about 13 miles from Home Farm.
The closest recent job we can point to from Home Farm was on Princess Way, Camberley (GU15), about 5 miles south-east: installing a Samsung VRF system serving twelve rooms across two floors, including open-plan working areas, individual offices, a server room and a boardroom.
West Road, South Road and Wheldon Lane and the roads off them are all inside our area. Our working area takes in RG12, RG45 and RG40, every street of it. If you are just outside Home Farm, we cover Wooden Hill (1 mile east), Great Hollands (1 mile north-east), Hanworth (1 mile east), Birch Hill (1 mile east) and Crowthorne (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Sandhurst (3 miles south), Wick Hill (3 miles north-east), Lawrence Hill (3 miles north-east) and Binfield (3 miles north).
Around Home Farm
Typical jobs here are in properties near Golden Retriever pub and Easthampstead Park Community School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Bracknell station, roughly 2 miles north-east. A little further out are Staff College Museum (3.8 miles south-east) and The Lexicon (2.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Heath Lake and Wildmoor Heath.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

What else we do in Home Farm
Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Home Farm: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Home Farm?
Home Farm is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Home Farm?
Yes. Home Farm is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Home Farm and across Bracknell Forest. Let us know who the records should go to.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
