Air source heat pumps in Shurlock Row
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you’re dealing with working out where a cylinder could go and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Shurlock Row, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Seal draughts where you can
- Keep to regular servicing
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Questions from Shurlock Row
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Shurlock Row?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Shurlock Row. 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Shurlock Row, normally Windsor and Maidenhead council).
Will you come out to Shurlock Row?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. There’s one grant per property, you cannot get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. It won’t apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Why deal with it now?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The application goes through the installer.
Air source heat pumps in Shurlock Row: the local picture
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
As an MCS certified installer, we can apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for you. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
