How we handle air source heat pumps in Radclive
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If the problem is checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
For a home around Radclive that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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.

Air source heat pumps in Radclive: the local picture
Radclive’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Radclive Conservation Area. Church of St John, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Radclive’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Buckinghamshire council, typically the planning authority here where needed. At about 52 miles from central London, Radclive sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Stowe House, roughly 2.1 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

FAQs for Radclive
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Radclive?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Radclive is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Radclive?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights, so we check during the survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Improving the building’s insulation
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- What electrical work the job needs
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your installation or service records
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Radclive is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- 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.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
