What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Nash Mills when you book.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Nash Mills
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Whether a home near Nash Mills has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Why act early in Nash Mills
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

What a heat pump looks like in Nash Mills
About 64% of homes in and around Nash Mills date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 40% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If your home is near Apsley station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The address and the type of property
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Nash Mills
Is a heat pump in Nash Mills permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Nash Mills. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Dacorum council, usually the authority for Nash Mills first.
Do you cover smaller places like Nash Mills?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. It will not apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
