Windsor and Maidenhead · Heat pump installation
Heat pump installation in Oakley Green, Windsor and Maidenhead
Air source heat pumps in and around Oakley Green, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off and a fixed price agreed before work begins.
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- A boiler that is getting old
What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Oakley Green.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- One contact for properties across the South East and London
- A 24/7 emergency line
- Manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote
- MCS certified for heat pumps
How we handle air source heat pumps in Oakley Green
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. 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. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Oakley Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Heat pumps in Oakley Green: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 71% of homes across Oakley Green and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care.
If your home is listed, like St Leonard's Hill about 1 mile south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Oakley Green: your questions answered
Is a heat pump in Oakley Green permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Oakley Green. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Windsor and Maidenhead council, which is typically the planning authority for Oakley Green.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Oakley Green?
Oakley Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Oakley Green in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Oakley Green, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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 doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
What does an air-to-water 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It 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, and we clear up before we go. If a lane or gateway near Oakley Green is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
