Air source heat pumps in Rush Green
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If you’re dealing with not knowing whether a grant applies and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Older homes around Rush Green can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What state the existing equipment is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your installation or service records
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Common questions in Rush Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Rush Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Rush Green is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Rush Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat 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. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which 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. Visits to a place like Rush Green are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- 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
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand

Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
