Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Pinkneys Green
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is working out where a cylinder could go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Pinkneys Green can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
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.

Air source heat pumps in Pinkneys Green: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Harleyford Manor, roughly 2.6 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St. James the Less? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Around Pinkneys Green, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

FAQs for Pinkneys Green
Do you cover smaller places like Pinkneys Green?
Yes. Pinkneys Green 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 planning permission needed for a heat pump in Pinkneys Green?
It depends on the property. The centre of Pinkneys Green is in a conservation area. 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 don’t 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 local planning authority (for Pinkneys Green, usually Windsor and Maidenhead council).
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. It does not apply to businesses. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
Why deal with it now?
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
What you can do yourself, and what needs 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 the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
