Air source heat pumps in Edgcott, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can sort it out.
Homes around Edgcott typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Questions from Edgcott
Can I fit a heat pump in Edgcott without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 11 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Edgcott. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Edgcott.
Is the heat pump grant available in Edgcott?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Edgcott 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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.

What a heat pump looks like in Edgcott
About 32% of homes in Edgcott and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Claydon House about 3 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Church of St Michael may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Edgcott can be planned properly.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
