- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Comparing heat pump types
Do you need air source heat pumps in Amersham?
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
If your home is one of the older properties near St. Michael and All Angels, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Amersham
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Around Amersham, most people asking about heat pumps have a gas boiler now. We survey the heat loss, radiators, hot water and the outdoor unit position, then design and quote.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Amersham questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Amersham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Amersham is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Amersham need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Weller Estate Conservation Area is close to the centre of Amersham. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Amersham.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. Shops and offices in Amersham can normally stay open while we work, or we come after hours.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Keep to regular servicing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
