Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Pegsdon
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Pegsdon and the rest of Hertfordshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If you’re dealing with working out where a cylinder could go and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Homes around Pegsdon normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
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.

Pegsdon questions
Can I fit a heat pump in Pegsdon without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Pegsdon holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Pegsdon, normally Central Bedfordshire council).
Do you cover smaller places like Pegsdon?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pegsdon
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

When to call us in Pegsdon
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What records you get at the end
How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- How many units are involved
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call 07833 053749.
