What we are called out for in High Leigh
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- A boiler that is getting old
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Catherine & St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
About our air source heat pumps in High Leigh
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near High Leigh, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

High Leigh questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in High Leigh?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including High Leigh, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in High Leigh need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of High Leigh holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for High Leigh, typically Broxbourne council).
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. 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 existing unit help with repairs and servicing in High Leigh.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
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 the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Why act early in High Leigh
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
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.
