FAQs for Picket Piece
Can you do air source heat pumps in Picket Piece?
Yes. Picket Piece is one of the places we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Picket Piece?
Picket Piece is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Picket Piece
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If you are dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Picket Piece can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out 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.

What else we do in Picket Piece
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
What we’re called out for in Picket Piece
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What your quote should include
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself 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. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Picket Piece.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Related advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
