How we handle air source heat pumps in Sandon
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Sandon and the rest of Hertfordshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
If your home in or near Sandon 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.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Common questions in Sandon
Do you cover smaller places like Sandon?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Sandon?
Sandon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Air source heat pumps around Sandon
About 36% of homes across Sandon and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The Sandon Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Sandon, within about a third of a mile. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Sandon. Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 17 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Sandon’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Sandon easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
