How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Cryers Hill.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Air source heat pumps in Cryers Hill, done properly
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. Typical jobs include not knowing whether a grant applies and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Cryers Hill normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
For landlords and property managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Buckinghamshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Cryers Hill
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.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- A boiler that is getting old
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
With Hughenden Manor about 1.3 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
Cryers Hill: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Cryers Hill without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Cryers Hill holds about 4 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 Buckinghamshire council, normally the authority for Cryers Hill.
Is the heat pump grant available in Cryers Hill?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Cryers Hill is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.

What a heat pump looks like in Cryers Hill
About 48% of homes in and around Cryers Hill date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of the Good Shepherd can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
