Air source heat pumps in Midgham, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Midgham need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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. Somewhere like Midgham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Questions from Midgham
Do you cover smaller places like Midgham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Midgham?
Midgham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How we price air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- What electrical work the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The brand, model and parts involved
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’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Midgham
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Why people in Midgham choose us

Homes in Midgham and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as April Cottage (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (normally West Berkshire council).
Historic houses such as Shaw House, about 4.9 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Matthew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
