About our air source heat pumps in Padworth Common
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. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking whether planning permission is needed, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Padworth Common need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Padworth Common
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How easy the units are to reach
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

Questions from Padworth Common
Will you come out to Padworth Common?
Yes. Padworth Common 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Padworth Common?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Padworth Common is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Padworth Common and across West Berkshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Padworth Common, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air source heat pumps in Padworth Common: the local picture
Padworth Common is about 45 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John the Baptist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
