Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Speen
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
Homes around Speen usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Speen: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Speen?
Speen 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will a heat pump in Speen need planning permission?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Speen Conservation Area, close to central Speen. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at West Berkshire council, normally the authority for Speen.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What happens if it’s left?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. For a village like Speen, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Speen are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

How to prepare
