Let and managed properties
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Air source heat pumps in Wallingford
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
If your home near Wallingford has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

At about 45 miles from central London, Wallingford sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary-le-More, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

When to call us in Wallingford
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- A boiler that’s getting old
Brightwell Manor, roughly 1.7 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Comparing quotes
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the visit to Wallingford from the survey or your pictures.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

FAQs for Wallingford
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Wallingford?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Wallingford Conservation Area, close to central Wallingford. 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 Wallingford, usually South Oxfordshire council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wallingford?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Wallingford is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
