How we handle air source heat pumps in Nuptown
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are finding a place for the outdoor unit and no space for a hot water cylinder.
If your home in or near Nuptown 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.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Advice
Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep radiators clear
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

Questions from Nuptown
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Nuptown?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 1 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Nuptown. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Nuptown, typically Bracknell Forest council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Nuptown?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Nuptown, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work in Nuptown?
Yes. We work in Nuptown and across Bracknell Forest, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Census 2021 figures found about 65% 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.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
