Heat pump installation in Myrke, Slough
Air source heat pumps in and around Myrke, from the first look to the final check with the price fixed before work begins.
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Planning and permitted development questions
Let and managed properties
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
About our air source heat pumps in Myrke
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with planning and permitted development questions and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Myrke is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Heat pumps in Myrke: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 39% of homes in and around Myrke were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 55% of households live in flats. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Laurence, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 1.2 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Myrke is about 1 mile south-east of Slough, in Slough. Our engineers cover Myrke for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Slough. Count every place we list in Slough and you reach 31, with Myrke on the list. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 17 miles away.
The closest recent job we can point to from Myrke was on Church Street, Staines-upon-Thames (TW18), about 6 miles south-east: installing two LG wall-mounted units in the main office area and a single unit in the client meeting room.
All of SL3 is covered. Other places close to Myrke include Ditton (1 mile south-east), Datchet (1 mile south-east), Sunnymeads (3 miles south-east), Brands Hill (3 miles south-east) and Old Windsor (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Britwell (3 miles north-west), Burnham (4 miles north-west), Stoke Poges (3 miles north) and Huntercombe (3 miles north-west).

Open spaces near Myrke include Stoke Common and Taplow Lake.
How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
Myrke: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Myrke without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 15 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Myrke. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Slough council, usually the authority for Myrke.
Will you come out to Myrke?
Yes. Myrke 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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Myrke.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Ask for a quote
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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
