Air source heat pumps in Ellesborough
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Ellesborough and the rest of Buckinghamshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and planning and permitted development questions, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Ellesborough that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Ellesborough questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Ellesborough?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Ellesborough is a short walk from the Ellesborough Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Buckinghamshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Ellesborough first.
Will you come out to Ellesborough?
Yes. Ellesborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Ellesborough easier.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Why deal with it now?
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Planning ahead for a job in Ellesborough means we can bring everything needed.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit

Air source heat pumps in Ellesborough: the local picture
About 42% of homes across Ellesborough and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 69% 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. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If you live near Little Kimble station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter and St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
