About our air source heat pumps in Horton
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
For a home around Horton that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
If you need air source heat pumps in Horton, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Homes in Horton and heat pumps
At about 19 miles from central London, Horton sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Michael, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Frogmore House lies about 2.5 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Horton is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Slough. Wherever you are in the SL3 postcode area, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Our Slough coverage runs to 31 places, and Horton is one of them. Guildford is in our area too, around 16 miles away.
The closest recent job we can point to from Horton was on Church Street, Staines-upon-Thames (TW18), about 3 miles south-east: installing two LG wall-mounted units in the main office area and a single unit in the client meeting room.
We cover every part of SL3 and TW19. Local streets include Stanwell Road, Bells Lane and Foundry Lane, all of which are in our area. Other places close to Horton include Brands Hill (1 mile north), Colnbrook (1 mile north-east), Sunnymeads (1 mile west), Poyle (1 mile north-east) and Wraysbury (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Slough (4 miles north-west), Cippenham (5 miles north-west), Chalvey (4 miles north-west) and Britwell (6 miles north-west).
Near you in Horton
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Five Bells Public House, Langley Grammar School and Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Sunnymeads station, roughly 1 mile west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Upton Hospital (3.3 miles north-west) and Windsor Castle (3 miles west). The countryside around Horton includes Staines Reservoirs.
The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes, and we tidy up before we leave. For a place like Horton, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Questions from Horton
Will a heat pump in Horton need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Horton. 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 planning department at Windsor and Maidenhead council, usually the authority for Horton first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Horton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Horton, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
