- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a village like Roe End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

How we handle air source heat pumps in Roe End
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. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We’re often asked to deal with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Roe End usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Seal draughts where you can
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
Air source heat pumps around Roe End
About 28 miles out from central London, Roe End is part of the South East area we work across.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Roe End is in Hertfordshire. From the centre of Roe End to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Our area takes in 381 places across Hertfordshire. Our London page covers places nearby (28 miles or so).

What we are called out for in Roe End
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
If your home is one of the older properties near Markyate Methodist Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Planning ahead for a job in Roe End means we can bring everything needed.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- MCS certified for heat pumps
- Emergency calls taken 24/7

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Roe End
Is Roe End within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Roe End permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Roe End. 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 local planning authority (for Roe End, usually Dacorum council).
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify and other conditions apply.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
