Air source heat pumps in Sandhurst
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are working out whether radiators need upsizing and a boiler that’s getting old.
Most homes around Sandhurst have space for the outdoor unit, and the position has to pass the MCS planning standard’s noise check to count as permitted development.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Sandhurst
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
These are the situations we see most often:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Older homes near St George's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Sandhurst: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Sandhurst?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Sandhurst holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 needed, we check with Bracknell Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Sandhurst.
Is the heat pump grant available in Sandhurst?
Sandhurst is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, 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.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
