Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Remenham
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and checking emitters for a heat pump.
If your home in or near Remenham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Air source heat pumps around Remenham
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 41% of homes in Remenham and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
Historic houses such as Greenlands, about 1 mile north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Nicholas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common questions in Remenham
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Remenham?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Remenham is in a conservation area. 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 Buckinghamshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Remenham first.
Will you come out to Remenham?
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.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
