Wendover questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wendover?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Wendover, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Wendover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
About our air source heat pumps in Wendover
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. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Homes around Wendover typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How we price air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What we’re called out for in Wendover
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If your home is near Wendover station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
What your quote should include
- What’s in the price and what is not
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- If the figure could change on the day
Leave it or put it right?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Wendover.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

- Covering London and the South East
- A reply the same working day

Homes in Wendover and heat pumps
About 42% of homes in the Wendover area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Wendover, you reach the Wendover Conservation Area. The Red House, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 89 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Wendover’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Buckinghamshire council) where needed.
Older homes near Parish Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Wendover.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
