About our air source heat pumps in Wigginton
We install air source heat pumps in Wigginton and across Hertfordshire, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Wigginton need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

When to call us in Wigginton
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that is the appeal for many households.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Cholesbury Manor House lies about 2 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Wigginton, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Advice
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Air source heat pumps in Wigginton: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Bartholomew (church of England), the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common questions in Wigginton
Is Wigginton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Wigginton without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 11 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Wigginton. 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Dacorum council, typically the authority for Wigginton.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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 explain why.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. 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 tell you what to do first.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
