How we handle air source heat pumps in Meriden
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and working out whether radiators need upsizing, on air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a house near Meriden, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Diary the next service
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
When something else is needed
Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Meriden questions
Will you come out to Meriden?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Meriden in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Meriden is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Meriden.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

VOA council tax data show about 39% of homes across Meriden and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
