Heat pump installation in Piddington, Buckinghamshire

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Piddington
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
For a home around Piddington that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Piddington is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Live in one of the older houses around St Lawrence's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If your home is listed, like West Wycombe Park House about 1.1 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Piddington
Is a heat pump in Piddington permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Piddington holds about 6 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, typically the authority for Piddington.
Is Piddington within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. It doesn’t apply to businesses. This is general information, not tax advice.
When will I hear back?
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. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Piddington
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The pipe route between the units
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 any work starts.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
