How we handle air source heat pumps in Shalstone
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We are often asked to deal with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Shalstone, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Shalstone.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Shalstone: your questions answered
Is Shalstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit a heat pump in Shalstone without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Shalstone sits inside the Shalstone Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Shalstone, normally Buckinghamshire council).
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

Common problems we fix in Shalstone
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
What we’re most often called about:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Period properties close to Church of St Edward can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before booking
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
