Air source heat pumps around Wick Hill
On the National Heritage List, around 11 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Wick Hill; Old Malt House (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Bracknell Forest council, which typically handles Wick Hill before the heat pump design is finished. Wick Hill is about 28 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Older homes near Holy Trinity Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Wick Hill
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. Typical jobs include questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older homes around Wick Hill can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common problems we fix in Wick Hill
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Planning and permitted development questions
For a home near Bracknell station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
What your quote should include
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, 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. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Wick Hill.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Advice
FAQs for Wick Hill
Is Wick Hill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the heat pump grant available in Wick Hill?
Wick Hill is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
