Air source heat pumps in Naphill
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Older and listed homes in villages like Naphill need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Naphill.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The condition of any existing system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The address and the type of property
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.

What else we do in Naphill
Common questions in Naphill
Can I fit a heat pump in Naphill without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Naphill. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Buckinghamshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Naphill.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Naphill?
Naphill is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you work on all makes?
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 tell you why.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Air source heat pumps in Naphill: the local picture
VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in and around Naphill to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Hughenden Manor, roughly 1.5 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near Church of St Botolph may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What owners can safely do
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.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
