How we handle air source heat pumps in Mackney
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Older and listed homes in villages like Mackney need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Mackney
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What kind of system it is
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749.
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Mackney
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Mackney?
Mackney is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Mackney?
Yes. Mackney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Will skipping a service affect the 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.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Mackney so we arrive with what’s needed.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

What a heat pump looks like in Mackney
The centre of Mackney lies within the Mackney Conservation Area. In the mile around Mackney’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 12 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Mackney, Small's House (grade I) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (typically South Oxfordshire council) where necessary. Mackney is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
With Brightwell Manor about 0.5 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to Church of St Agatha can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Mackney is about 4 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX10 area, we can help with air source heat pumps. Mackney is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for homes and businesses. Guildford, roughly 35 miles off, has its own page on this site.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
