Air source heat pumps in Hungerford, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are comparing heat pump types and working out where a cylinder could go.
Cottages and older homes near Hungerford can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Hungerford?
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Homeowners near Hungerford station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
Before booking anyone
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Find out the grant position at the survey
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Common questions in Hungerford
Is a heat pump in Hungerford permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Hungerford Conservation Area takes in the middle of Hungerford. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with West Berkshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Hungerford.
Will you come out to Hungerford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to arrange one.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
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. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
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. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker.
