How we handle air source heat pumps in Roxbourne
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are working out whether radiators need upsizing and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
In a flat in Roxbourne, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Let us know who controls access to the building in Roxbourne, as that saves time on the day.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

What we are called out for in Roxbourne
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
The things we are asked about most are:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Older homes near St. Andrew’s Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before you book anyone
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
What affects the quote in Roxbourne
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Common questions in Roxbourne
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Roxbourne?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Roxbourne?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Roxbourne, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Air source heat pumps around Roxbourne
About 76% of homes in the Roxbourne area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
With Headstone Manor about 1.8 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
