About our air source heat pumps in Coleman Green
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot 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 hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about finding a place for the outdoor unit and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Coleman Green, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

When to call us in Coleman Green
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- If the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
Coleman Green questions
Is Coleman Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Coleman Green in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Coleman Green is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
