Air source heat pumps in Pin Green, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Whether a home near Pin Green 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, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Around Pin Green, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by 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
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Pin Green
Can you do air source heat pumps in Pin Green?
Yes, Pin Green is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Pin Green?
Pin Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps around Pin Green
Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Pin Green and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Stevenage council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. VOA council tax data date about 49% of homes in Pin Green and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 37% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care.
Period properties close to Church of Saint Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
