Air source heat pumps in Old Warren
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Old Warren and the rest of West Berkshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Old Warren need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Let and managed properties
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Diary the next service
- File the MCS certificate safely
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Warren
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

FAQs for Old Warren
Will you come out to Old Warren?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Old Warren without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Old Warren holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Basingstoke and Deane council, which is typically the planning authority for Old Warren first.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler does not qualify, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What happens on the day
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 the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Old Warren easier.
