Air source heat pumps in Wellhouse
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and a boiler that’s getting old.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Wellhouse, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Air source heat pumps around Wellhouse
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Wellhouse Farmhouse (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally West Berkshire council). The 2021 Census found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Shaw House lies about 3.7 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Why deal with it now?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Wellhouse is done before the hot weather.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Wellhouse
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Your installation or service records
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Wellhouse, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Will you come out to Wellhouse?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wellhouse?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Wellhouse is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Are my radiators big enough for 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.
