Windsor and Maidenhead · Heat pump installation
Heat pump installation in Paley Street, Windsor and Maidenhead
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Paley Street for air source heat pumps. Fixed-price quotes and a 24/7 emergency line.
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Use the settings explained at handover
- File the MCS certificate safely
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 so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
Air source heat pumps in Paley Street
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Paley Street, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

How the visit works
Our engineers 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. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Paley Street is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Owner checks or an engineer?
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. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Paley Street questions
Will a heat pump in Paley Street need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Paley Street is in a conservation area. 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 necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Paley Street, normally Windsor and Maidenhead council).
Is Paley Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Paley Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What a heat pump looks like in Paley Street
About 47% of homes in Paley Street and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. With Dorney Court about 3.8 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
