Managing agents and facilities teams in Chorleywood West
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Chorleywood West
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
If your home in or near Chorleywood West is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Chorleywood West is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
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.

Chorleywood West: your questions answered
Is Chorleywood West within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Chorleywood West?
Chorleywood West is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens if it’s left?
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 Chorleywood West is done before the hot weather.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How we price air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What kind of system it is
- The number of rooms, units or zones
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
