Air source heat pumps in Standon, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder.
Homes around Standon normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

FAQs for Standon
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Standon?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Standon Conservation Area takes in the middle of Standon. 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 don’t 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 East Hertfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Standon.
Is Standon within the area you cover?
Yes. Standon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How we price air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The number of rooms, units or zones
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.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- File the MCS certificate safely
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
