Before you call an engineer
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Redford
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We’re often asked to deal with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and comparing heat pump types, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes around Redford normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
FAQs for Redford
Is Redford in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Redford is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Redford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter, so we check for your property.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Redford, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Redford
About 44 miles out from central London, Redford is part of the South East area we work across. About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Cowdray House about 3.4 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near Church of St Luke may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What air conditioning won’t do
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
