Air-to-water heat pumps

Air source heat pumps in Great Brickhill
We install air source heat pumps in Great Brickhill and across Milton Keynes, and we’re MCS certified. 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 help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
In a place like Great Brickhill, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Great Brickhill
Is a heat pump in Great Brickhill permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Great Brickhill sits inside the Great Brickhill Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Great Brickhill.
Is Great Brickhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Great Brickhill.

Advice
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: 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 ring 07833 053749.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Homes in Great Brickhill and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 44% of homes in Great Brickhill and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is listed, like Bletchley Park about 3.4 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Live in one of the older houses around St Mary the Virgin? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

For landlords and property managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
A customer’s words
“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.”
