- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Boxmoor.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Boxmoor, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near Boxmoor can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens if it’s left?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Air source heat pumps around Boxmoor
About 41% of homes in Boxmoor and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. On the National Heritage List, around 15 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Boxmoor; Greenend House (grade II) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Dacorum council, which normally handles Boxmoor.
For a home near Hemel Hempstead station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Period properties close to Church of St John the Evangelist and Attached Church Hall can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Boxmoor
Is Boxmoor within the area you cover?
Yes. Boxmoor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Boxmoor?
Boxmoor is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation 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. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
