About our air source heat pumps in Streatley
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Streatley normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Streatley.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Homes in Streatley and heat pumps
The Streatley Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Streatley, within about a third of a mile. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Streatley and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 37 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Streatley’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? VOA council tax data date about 41% of homes in and around Streatley to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Basildon Park lies about 2.1 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Streatley is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Streatley
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Streatley?
Streatley 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Streatley within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to book it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
