Air Source Heat Pumps in Ufton Green
We cover Ufton Green for MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Use the settings explained at handover
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Ufton Green
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If you’re dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can sort it out.
For a home around Ufton Green that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What a heat pump looks like in Ufton Green
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Advice
Ufton Green: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Ufton Green without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Ufton Green. 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 the local planning authority (for Ufton Green, typically West Berkshire council) first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ufton Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ufton Green, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
