How we handle air source heat pumps in Monkwood
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are planning and permitted development questions and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
For a home around Monkwood that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Somewhere like Monkwood, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
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 inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Questions from Monkwood
Is the heat pump grant available in Monkwood?
Monkwood is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Monkwood?
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.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before we start.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually 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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Monkwood
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Hinton Ampner House, roughly 4.8 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
What a heat pump looks like in Monkwood
About 32% of homes in and around Monkwood have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
