How we handle air source heat pumps in Hudnall
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hudnall, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What a heat pump looks like in Hudnall
About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Grant applications go through the MCS certified installer, so that part is handled for you.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: 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.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
What air conditioning won’t do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Hudnall.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- 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
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hudnall
Is the heat pump grant available in Hudnall?
Hudnall is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hudnall?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hudnall. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Hudnall, normally Dacorum council).
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Leave it or put it right?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
