About our air source heat pumps in Quainton
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is moving away from fossil-fuel heating and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Quainton need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What a heat pump looks like in Quainton
About 38% of homes in Quainton and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Waddesdon Manor about 2.3 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
FAQs for Quainton
Will you come out to Quainton?
Yes. Quainton 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Quainton?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Quainton Conservation Area, close to central Quainton. 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 Buckinghamshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Quainton first.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Hot water cylinders
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Underfloor heating
- Air-to-air heat pumps

Let and managed properties
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a village like Quainton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
