Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Langley
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Homes around Langley typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Air source heat pumps in Langley: the local picture
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Langley.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Langley: your questions answered
Is Langley within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Langley without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Langley holds about 21 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Uttlesford council, which is usually the planning authority for Langley first.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Langley?
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. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
Period properties close to Church of St John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
