About our air source heat pumps in Speenhamland
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 questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
If your home near Speenhamland has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Air source heat pumps around Speenhamland
About 41% of homes in and around Speenhamland date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
Historic houses such as Shaw House, about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. For a home near Newbury station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation, and the size of each room.
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Speenhamland.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Common questions in Speenhamland
Can I fit a heat pump in Speenhamland without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Newbury Town Centre Conservation Area takes in the middle of Speenhamland. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with West Berkshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Speenhamland first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Speenhamland?
Speenhamland is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What you get with us
- A 24/7 emergency line
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand
- Enquiries answered the same working day
- NICEIC approved for electrical work

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. 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 not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The address and the type of property
- Your installation or service records
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
