How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Cambridgeshire?
Budget roughly £1,795–£4,250 per zone ex VAT in Cambridgeshire. For a typical job — shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units — expect £4,795–£14,595 plus VAT. The fixed price follows a free survey.
An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.

From enquiry to handover in Cambridgeshire
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. We keep work areas in Cambridgeshire screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Cambridgeshire
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Typical premises in Cambridgeshire
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions from businesses in Cambridgeshire
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Cambridgeshire?
Guide prices in Cambridgeshire run from about £1,795 to £4,250 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) costs £4,795–£14,595 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Northamptonshire, Rutland and Bedfordshire?
Yes. Alongside Cambridgeshire, we also cover Northamptonshire, Rutland and Bedfordshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Does it work in freezing weather?
Modern units are designed to heat well below freezing, though output reduces as it gets colder. We size for that.
Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
