Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Woodhall Farm
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about planning and permitted development questions and a boiler that’s getting old.
For a house near Woodhall Farm, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a place like Woodhall Farm, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Woodhall Farm
Will a heat pump in Woodhall Farm need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Woodhall Farm holds about 46 listed buildings and structures. 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 planning department at Dacorum council, normally the authority for Woodhall Farm.
Is the heat pump grant available in Woodhall Farm?
Woodhall Farm is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before any work starts.
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
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Woodhall Farm and across Hertfordshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
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.
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
