What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They do not heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
About our air source heat pumps in Marsworth
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. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
In a place like Marsworth, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent 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, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Marsworth
Is a heat pump in Marsworth permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Marsworth Conservation Area takes in the middle of Marsworth. 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Marsworth.
Is Marsworth within the area you cover?
Yes. Marsworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
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. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it won’t qualify.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Air source heat pumps in Marsworth: the local picture
The 2021 Census found about 36% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
With Cholesbury Manor House about 4.6 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
How it works
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. On site, 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. Visits to Marsworth are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Related advice
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. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
