About our air source heat pumps in Gadebridge
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go.
For a house near Gadebridge, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Heat pumps in Gadebridge: local notes
In the mile around Gadebridge’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Dacorum council, which normally handles Gadebridge. About 63% of homes across Gadebridge and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 47% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Alban's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Gadebridge
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning

The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Gadebridge.

Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Gadebridge
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Gadebridge?
Gadebridge is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Gadebridge?
Yes. Gadebridge 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.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
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.

“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.”
