How we handle air source heat pumps in Lillingstone Lovell
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Lillingstone Lovell need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Questions from Lillingstone Lovell
Do you cover smaller places like Lillingstone Lovell?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Lillingstone Lovell without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Lillingstone Lovell is in the Lillingstone Lovell Conservation Area. 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 the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, typically the authority for Lillingstone Lovell first.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.

Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Lillingstone Lovell
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Stowe House, roughly 3 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
