About our air source heat pumps in Horsenden
We install air source heat pumps in Horsenden and across Buckinghamshire, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Horsenden that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air source heat pumps in Horsenden: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 47% of homes in the Horsenden area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Michael and All Angels? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Princes Risborough station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Horsenden.

Horsenden questions
Will a heat pump in Horsenden need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Horsenden is in the Horsenden 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 do not 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 the local planning authority (for Horsenden, normally Buckinghamshire council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Horsenden?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Horsenden is in England, where it applies. 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Do you work in Horsenden?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Horsenden included.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The make and model of the system, from the label
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
