Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Middle Claydon
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with finding a place for the outdoor unit and planning and permitted development questions, on radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Middle Claydon is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Middle Claydon easier.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
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 can work for either side.
Before you call an engineer
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. 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.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Heat pumps in Middle Claydon: local notes
About 32% of homes in and around Middle Claydon have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Claydon House, roughly 0.3 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.
Common questions in Middle Claydon
Is the heat pump grant available in Middle Claydon?
Middle Claydon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is a heat pump in Middle Claydon permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Middle Claydon is in the Middle Claydon Conservation Area. 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 needed, we check with the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, typically the authority for Middle Claydon.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is Middle Claydon in your area?
Yes. We cover Middle Claydon and the rest of Buckinghamshire, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

A customer’s words
“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.”
