Air source heat pumps in Ryeish Green, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
In a place like Ryeish Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Seal draughts where you can
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

Homes in Ryeish Green and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 53% of homes across Ryeish Green and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near St Michael and All Angels may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Stratfield Saye House about 4 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Ryeish Green: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Ryeish Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ryeish Green, if they qualify. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is a heat pump in Ryeish Green permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Ryeish Green. 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 Ryeish Green, usually Wokingham council).
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Ryeish Green.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
