Heat Pump Installation in Newbury & Berkshire — FAQs

What is the difference between air source and ground source heat pumps?

Air source heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air; ground source from the ground via buried loops. Air source is less disruptive and suits most Berkshire homes. APS specialises in air source systems.

Do air source heat pumps work in winter?

Yes. Modern units operate efficiently down to -15°C and beyond. They are widely used across the UK and perform well in Berkshire's climate when correctly sized.

Do I need to upgrade my radiators?

Sometimes. Heat pumps work at lower flow temperatures, so larger emitters may be needed. We assess this during the survey and include any upgrades in your quote.

Can I replace an oil boiler with a heat pump?

Often, yes. We first assess insulation, heat loss, emitters, hot-water storage and electrical supply to make sure a heat pump will perform properly. Eligible off-gas-grid homes replacing oil heating may also qualify for enhanced BUS support under current scheme rules.
