Heat pump installers in Northend
Air source heat pumps in and around Northend, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off and a fixed price agreed before we start.
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
What owners can safely do
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 ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Air source heat pumps in Northend, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are not knowing whether a grant applies and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
For a home around Northend that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Northend
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How easy the units are to reach
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 make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
If you need air source heat pumps in Northend, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
VAT on heat pumps
Please treat this as general guidance rather than tax advice.
Northend questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Northend?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Northend, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Northend within the area you cover?
Yes. Northend is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Homes in Northend and heat pumps
The centre of Northend lies within the Northend Conservation Area. In the mile around Northend’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Northend, including Northend Farmhouse (grade II*). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Buckinghamshire council, normally the planning authority here where necessary. Census 2021 figures found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. With Stonor Park about 2.1 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Northend is about 8 miles north-west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. We cover Northend for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Oxfordshire. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 31 miles from Northend.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It 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. If a lane or gateway near Northend is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- 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
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
From one of our customers
“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.”
