Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stanborough
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stanborough?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stanborough, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Stanborough within the area you cover?
Yes. Stanborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stanborough
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Stanborough that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. For a village like Stanborough, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Air source heat pumps in Stanborough: the local picture
About 46% of homes in Stanborough and the neighbourhoods around it were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Stanborough. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Welwyn Hatfield council, which typically handles Stanborough.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St John the Evangelist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Hatfield House, about 2 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Stanborough.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
