How we handle air source heat pumps in Burnham Green
We install air source heat pumps in Burnham Green and across Hertfordshire, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and working out where a cylinder could go, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Burnham Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

After we’ve gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.

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. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved.

Advice
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Burnham Green
Will you come out to Burnham Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Burnham Green?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Burnham Green. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask East Hertfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Burnham Green.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burnham Green
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Booking before summer means the work in Burnham Green is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
