About our air source heat pumps in Leverton
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for planning and permitted development questions and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Leverton usually have room outside for a heat pump, 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. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Leverton?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Ramsbury Manor lies about 4.6 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Before booking anyone
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Leverton.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Questions from Leverton
Is the heat pump grant available in Leverton?
Leverton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is a heat pump in Leverton permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Leverton. 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 West Berkshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Leverton first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Is Leverton in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Leverton, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
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.
