Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Thorney
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If you are dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Thorney, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.

What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Thorney is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.

Getting ready for the visit

- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Thorney: the local picture
About 41% of homes in Thorney and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
If your home is near Iver station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Period properties close to St. Leonard's can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Thorney questions
Is a heat pump in Thorney permitted development?
It depends on the property. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Thorney. 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 Thorney, typically Buckinghamshire council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Thorney?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Thorney is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can I do any of the installation 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 circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
