Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Long Crendon
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Cottages and older homes near Long Crendon can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered and need a check with the council.
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Around Long Crendon, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.

Advice
What else we do in Long Crendon
Long Crendon questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Long Crendon?
Long Crendon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Long Crendon within the area you cover?
Yes. Long Crendon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

- A 24/7 emergency line

Heat pumps in Long Crendon: local notes
About 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Long Crendon’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Long Crendon Conservation Area. Church of St Mary, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 109 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Long Crendon’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Buckinghamshire council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
