How we handle air source heat pumps in Linwood
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
In a place like Linwood, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep radiators clear

Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

Advice
Common questions in Linwood
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Linwood?
Linwood is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover Linwood for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Linwood is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
