About our air source heat pumps in Roundshaw
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Typical jobs include checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and comparing heat pump types, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
A terrace in Roundshaw shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
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 every service is written up.

Common questions in Roundshaw
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Roundshaw?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is the heat pump grant available in Roundshaw?
Roundshaw is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
System by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
Homes in Roundshaw and heat pumps
About 40% of homes in and around Roundshaw have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 46% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder normally has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Addington Palace lies about 3.9 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
