The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit 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. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Bledlow Ridge easier.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bledlow Ridge
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
Older and listed homes in villages like Bledlow Ridge need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. Everything else is sized from it.
Common problems we fix in Bledlow Ridge
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Look out for these signs:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
With West Wycombe Park House about 2.9 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Bledlow Ridge questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bledlow Ridge?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Bledlow Ridge holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Buckinghamshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Bledlow Ridge first.
Will you come out to Bledlow Ridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
