Air source heat pumps in Sunnymeads
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Typical jobs include working out where a cylinder could go and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
In a place like Sunnymeads, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work 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. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Sunnymeads.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Sunnymeads
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Planning ahead for a job in Sunnymeads means we can bring everything needed.
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 struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Seal draughts where you can
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Air source heat pumps in Sunnymeads: the local picture
VOA council tax data date about 40% of homes across Sunnymeads and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Frogmore House lies about 1.6 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If you live near Sunnymeads station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Questions from Sunnymeads
Is the heat pump grant available in Sunnymeads?
Sunnymeads is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is a heat pump in Sunnymeads permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Sunnymeads sits inside a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Sunnymeads, usually Windsor and Maidenhead council).
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
