- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Find out the grant position at the survey
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
About our air source heat pumps in Twyford
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old.
Homes around Twyford typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

How it works
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to a place like Twyford are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Why act early in Twyford

Common problems we fix in Twyford
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- A boiler that’s getting old
If your home is near Twyford station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Twyford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Twyford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Twyford without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Twyford sits inside a conservation area. 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 planning department at Wokingham council, normally the authority for Twyford.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief is not available to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
