About our air source heat pumps in Redbourn
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Redbourn and the rest of Hertfordshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We’re often asked to deal with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
For a house near Redbourn, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
What a heat pump looks like in Redbourn
The last census (2021) found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Childwickbury Manor about 2.6 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to Mount Zion Evangelical Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. Everything else is sized from it.

Redbourn questions
Can I fit a heat pump in Redbourn without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Redbourn Conservation Area is close to the centre of Redbourn. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at St Albans City council, normally the authority for Redbourn.
Do you cover smaller places like Redbourn?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange one.
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 will tell you what to do first.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler does not qualify as it has to meet the full heating demand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes.
