What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Brent Pelham.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Air source heat pumps in Brent Pelham, done properly
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
Homes around Brent Pelham usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Brent Pelham questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Brent Pelham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Brent Pelham, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Brent Pelham without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Brent Pelham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Brent Pelham. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at East Hertfordshire council, typically the authority for Brent Pelham.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

What a heat pump looks like in Brent Pelham
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 35% of homes across Brent Pelham and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

What we are called out for in Brent Pelham
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
