What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The address and the type of property
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps in Burkham, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions.
For a home around Burkham that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Burkham.
- 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.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
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.

Air source heat pumps around Burkham
About 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. About 47 miles out from central London, Burkham is part of the South East area we work across.
Hall Place lies about 1.9 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

FAQs for Burkham
Is Burkham within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Burkham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Burkham, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
From one of our customers
“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.”
