Managing agents and facilities teams in Hurst
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hurst
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. 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 underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hurst, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Hurst can be planned properly.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Diary the next service
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
FAQs for Hurst
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Hurst?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hurst. 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 Wokingham council, which is normally the planning authority for Hurst.
Do you cover smaller places like Hurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
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 will agree what happens next.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Homes in Hurst and heat pumps
About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we can apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for you.
