- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Common problems we fix in Cheshunt
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Forty Hall, roughly 3 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Cheshunt
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. If you’re dealing with not knowing whether a grant applies and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Plenty of older homes in Cheshunt can run on a heat pump, though some need bigger radiators or better insulation first. We work that out from a heat loss calculation.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What else we do in Cheshunt
Pricing air source heat pumps in Cheshunt
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What electrical work the job needs
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know about side gates, ladders or locked areas at your property in Cheshunt.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
How to get a quote
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.
Advice
Cheshunt questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Cheshunt?
Cheshunt is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is a heat pump in Cheshunt permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Cheshunt holds about 18 listed buildings and structures. 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 needed, we check with the planning department at Broxbourne council, usually the authority for Cheshunt.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Cheshunt and across Hertfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Book a yearly service
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps around Cheshunt
The 2021 Census found about 41% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Older homes near St Mary the Virgin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
