About our air source heat pumps in Hyde End
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Hyde End and the rest of West Berkshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
In a place like Hyde End, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself 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. Work in Hyde End is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Heat pumps in Hyde End: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Hyde End questions
Will you come out to Hyde End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Hyde End permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hyde End. 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 the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Hyde End.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Why deal with it now?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
