Mead End air source heat pumps
For air source heat pumps in Mead End, one call is all it takes, from the first look to sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- A boiler that is getting old
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Ask about the grant before you commit
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Mead End
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Mead End, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Questions from Mead End
Will you come out to Mead End?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Mead End?
Mead End is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we tidy up before we leave. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Mead End.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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 are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
