Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ravenstone
We install air source heat pumps in Ravenstone and across Milton Keynes, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
Homes around Ravenstone usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
When to call us in Ravenstone
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Comparing heat pump types
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Comparing quotes
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- If the figure could change on the day

Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Ravenstone
Will a heat pump in Ravenstone need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Ravenstone is in the Ravenstone Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Milton Keynes council, normally the authority for Ravenstone.
Do you cover smaller places like Ravenstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Ravenstone and across Milton Keynes. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
