Air source heat pumps in Longwick: the local picture
About 47% of homes in and around Longwick date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Period properties close to Owlswick Chapel can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Air source heat pumps in Longwick, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
Whether a home near Longwick has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Longwick
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

What affects the quote in Longwick
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Common questions in Longwick
Is a heat pump in Longwick permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Longwick holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. 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 Buckinghamshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Longwick.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Longwick?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Longwick, if they qualify. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Longwick.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
