How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Berkshire?
Budget roughly £1,895–£4,550 per zone ex VAT in Berkshire. For a typical job — shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units — expect £5,095–£15,500 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed.
An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Where we work around Berkshire
We cover all of Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham. Each town below has its own page with local guide prices.
Postcode districts we cover include GU47, RG2, RG8, RG14, RG30, RG42, SL5 and TW19. In Berkshire, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Included as standard
- Heat loss and heat gain assessment
- Units selected for low-temperature heating output
- Outdoor units positioned for air flow and defrost drainage
- Controls with schedules and set-back temperatures
- Running-cost guidance against your current heating

How we work in Berkshire
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Berkshire we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Berkshire
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Berkshire often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Who we work with in Berkshire
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
Questions about air-to-air heat pumps in Berkshire
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Berkshire?
Guide prices in Berkshire run from about £1,895 to £4,550 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) costs £5,095–£15,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Surrey, Buckinghamshire and London?
Yes. Alongside Berkshire, we also cover Surrey, Buckinghamshire and London. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Does it work in freezing weather?
Modern units are designed to heat well below freezing, though output reduces as it gets colder. We size for that.
Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
