How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, 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. We plan the visit to Wargrave from the survey or your pictures.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Wargrave, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are planning and permitted development questions and a boiler that’s getting old.
Whether a home near Wargrave has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Wargrave questions
Is a heat pump in Wargrave permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Wargrave is in 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Wokingham council, usually the authority for Wargrave.
Is Wargrave within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wargrave
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.

What affects the quote in Wargrave
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
