Air source heat pumps in Tutts Clump
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you are dealing with finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Tutts Clump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Advice
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Tutts Clump
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
With Basildon Park about 4.6 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
What your quote should include
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- What’s in the price and what is not
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

Common questions in Tutts Clump
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Tutts Clump?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tutts Clump. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Tutts Clump, normally West Berkshire council).

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
