- A boiler that is getting old
- Comparing heat pump types
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Oakley.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Oakley, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and checking emitters for a heat pump.
If your home near Oakley has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
What a heat pump looks like in Oakley
About 40% of homes in Oakley and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near St John's may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Oakley
Can I fit a heat pump in Oakley without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Church Oakley Conservation Area, close to central Oakley. 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 the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, normally the authority for Oakley.
Is Oakley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What we are called out for in Oakley
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- No space for a hot water cylinder
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
