Air source heat pumps in Letcombe Regis
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. We are often asked to deal with finding a place for the outdoor unit and no space for a hot water cylinder, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Letcombe Regis is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Letcombe Regis
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What to look for in a quote
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
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.

Air source heat pumps around Letcombe Regis
About 31% of homes in the Letcombe Regis area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump.
Older homes near Church of St Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Questions from Letcombe Regis
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Letcombe Regis?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Letcombe Regis sits inside the Letcombe Regis Conservation Area. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Vale of White Horse council, which is usually the planning authority for Letcombe Regis.
Do you cover smaller places like Letcombe Regis?
Yes. Letcombe Regis is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it will not qualify.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to book it.
Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
