How we handle air source heat pumps in Marlow Common
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are not knowing whether a grant applies and comparing heat pump types.
If your home in or near Marlow Common is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep radiators clear
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Marlow Common
Do you cover smaller places like Marlow Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Marlow Common?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Marlow Common. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, normally the authority for Marlow Common.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Marlow Common is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

How we price air source heat pumps

- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
