Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Huntercombe
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
If your home near Huntercombe has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The address and the type of property
- The make and model of the system, from the label

What we’re called out for in Huntercombe
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Period properties close to St. Andrew's Shared Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Huntercombe: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Huntercombe?
Huntercombe 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Huntercombe?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Huntercombe is a short walk from the Huntercombe 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 the planning department at Slough council, usually the authority for Huntercombe first.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.

How it works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Huntercombe can normally be finished in one visit.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Huntercombe
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

“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.”
