Air source heat pumps in Shottesbrooke, done properly
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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
For a home around Shottesbrooke that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Work in Shottesbrooke is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

What we’re called out for in Shottesbrooke
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
If your home is listed, like Harleyford Manor about 4.7 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What your quote should include
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
Why deal with it now?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. An early booking makes the visit to Shottesbrooke easier to arrange.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
What you get with us
- Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba and more
- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer

Shottesbrooke: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Shottesbrooke?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Shottesbrooke is in England, where it applies. 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.
Will you come out to Shottesbrooke?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Do I need to service the system to keep 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.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call us on 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange one.

What else we do in Shottesbrooke
Heat pumps in Shottesbrooke: local notes
Central Shottesbrooke is inside a conservation area. Church of St John the Baptist, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Shottesbrooke’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Windsor and Maidenhead council, normally the planning authority here. About 47% of homes in Shottesbrooke and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John the Baptist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
