Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Great Milton
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Great Milton, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Great Milton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Milton?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Great Milton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Great Milton, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which 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. We plan the trip to Great Milton around you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
How we price air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
To get a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Different systems, different jobs
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: 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 give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Homes in Great Milton and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Great Milton, you reach the Great Milton Conservation Area. In the mile around Great Milton’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 50 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Great Milton; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (typically South Oxfordshire council).
If your home is listed, like Garsington Manor about 3.1 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

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.”
