Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Chapmore End
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, on underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a place like Chapmore End, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Chapmore End
Is the heat pump grant available in Chapmore End?
Chapmore End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Chapmore End within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Homes in Chapmore End and heat pumps
At about 23 miles from central London, Chapmore End sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Chapmore End, Westmill House (grade II*) among them. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with East Hertfordshire council, usually the planning authority here.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Aston Bury, roughly 4.9 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Chapmore End is about 2 miles north-west of Ware, in Hertfordshire. Homes and businesses alike in Chapmore End, we can help with air source heat pumps.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Chapmore End.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
