Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Cassiobury
We begin with a room-by-room 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 hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are no space for a hot water cylinder and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Older homes around Cassiobury can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Cassiobury
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What electrical work the job needs
- The brand, model and parts involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Questions from Cassiobury
Is Cassiobury within the area you cover?
Yes. Cassiobury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Cassiobury?
It depends on the property. The Civic Core Conservation Area is close to the centre of Cassiobury. 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 necessary, we check with Watford council, which is usually the planning authority for Cassiobury.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.

What a heat pump looks like in Cassiobury
About 35% of homes in Cassiobury and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 45% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better.
Live in one of the older houses around St John's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Homeowners near Watford Junction station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book a yearly service
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep radiators clear
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
