Air source heat pumps in Shreding Green, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Homes around Shreding Green normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They do not heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Homes in Shreding Green and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 30% of homes in and around Shreding Green date from 1919 to 1939, and the 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
For a home near Langley station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Shreding Green.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.

Common questions in Shreding Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Shreding Green?
Shreding Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Shreding Green?
It depends on the property. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Shreding Green. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Buckinghamshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Shreding Green.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
