- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near Titmore Green is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Tell us about parking and loading
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.

Air source heat pumps in Titmore Green, done properly
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Titmore Green need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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.

Common questions in Titmore Green
Can I fit a heat pump in Titmore Green without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Titmore Green. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Titmore Green, normally North Hertfordshire council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Titmore Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Titmore Green, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
For landlords and property managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Places near Titmore Green
What else we do in Titmore Green
Air source heat pumps around Titmore Green
About 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Knebworth House, about 3.7 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Planning ahead for a job in Titmore Green means we can bring everything needed.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, phone 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
