How we handle air source heat pumps in Headley Down
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go.
Older homes around Headley Down can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Air source heat pumps in Headley Down: the local picture
About 40 miles out from central London, Headley Down is part of the South East area we work across. About 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

What air source heat pumps can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will say what we think before booking.

System by system
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small and that matters for comfort and running.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit 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. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Headley Down.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board

Advice
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
