Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Shenleybury
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
For a home around Shenleybury that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

FAQs for Shenleybury
Can you do air source heat pumps in Shenleybury?
Yes. Shenleybury is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Shenleybury?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Shenleybury 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work 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. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange one.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Keep to regular servicing
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Homes in Shenleybury and heat pumps
About 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Shenleybury and it takes in 2 conservation areas. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Hertsmere council) where necessary.
Wyllyotts Manor lies about 4.1 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Older homes near St Botolphs may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source, and is MCS certified when we install it.
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
What happens if it’s left?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.
