Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Radwinter
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Common call-outs are for no space for a hot water cylinder and checking emitters for a heat pump, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Radwinter is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Heat pumps in Radwinter: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

FAQs for Radwinter
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Radwinter?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Radwinter is a short walk from the Radwinter Conservation Area. 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 Uttlesford council, typically the authority for Radwinter.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Radwinter?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Radwinter is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you work in Radwinter?
Yes. Our engineers work in Radwinter, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
What we do, step by step
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 the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Radwinter is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it can’t replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
