Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Roe Green
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include checking emitters for a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Roe Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Roe Green.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

When to call us in Roe Green
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
How we price air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The address and the type of property
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Common questions in Roe Green
Is Roe Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Roe Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Roe Green permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of Roe Green is in the Roe Green 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 North Hertfordshire council, usually the authority for Roe Green.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Air source heat pumps in Roe Green: the local picture
VOA council tax data put about 36% of homes in Roe Green and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Why it’s worth doing now in Roe Green
