Buckinghamshire · Heat pump installation
Heat pump installation in Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire
Air source heat pumps across Chesham Bois and nearby, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off with the price fixed before work begins.
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- A boiler that is getting old
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Diary the next service
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Air source heat pumps in Chesham Bois
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Typical jobs include ageing boilers that will need replacing and comparing heat pump types, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Cottages and older homes near Chesham Bois can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
For landlords and property managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Chesham Bois and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Questions from Chesham Bois
Is the heat pump grant available in Chesham Bois?
Chesham Bois is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Chesham Bois within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.

How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to a place like Chesham Bois are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Chesham Bois
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Chesham Bois, you reach the Chesham Bois Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Chesham Bois and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Rectory Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Buckinghamshire council, which usually handles Chesham Bois before the heat pump design is finished. Census 2021 figures found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Leonard may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Chenies Manor House, about 3.2 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
