Pricing air source heat pumps in Mortimer
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Mortimer
We install air source heat pumps in Mortimer and across West Berkshire, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Older homes around Mortimer can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. Around Mortimer, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Mortimer
Is Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes. Mortimer 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.
Is Mortimer in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Mortimer is within the area we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you’re eligible.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What happens if it’s left?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Mortimer.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
