Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Langley Common
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. 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 air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Homes around Langley Common normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

The process
On the day, we 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 the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Langley Common easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Common questions in Langley Common
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Langley Common?
Langley Common is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit a heat pump in Langley Common without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Langley Common sits inside a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Langley Common, typically Wokingham council).
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Heat pumps in Langley Common: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 53% of homes across Langley Common and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Live in one of the older houses around St Eligius? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it can’t replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep to regular servicing
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
