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.
Cumbria and surrounding areas
We cover all of Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Whitehaven and Workington. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include CA1, CA7, CA14, CA21, CA28, LA9, LA16 and LA23. In Cumbria, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

How a job in Cumbria works
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 Cumbria screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Cumbria
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Cumbria are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Cumbria often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Cumbria
- 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).
FAQs for Cumbria
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Cumbria?
Guide prices in Cumbria run from about £1,595 to £3,850 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) costs £4,350–£13,250 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Lancashire, County Durham and Merseyside?
Yes. Alongside Cumbria, we also cover Lancashire, County Durham and Merseyside. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Can air conditioning really heat a building?
Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.
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.
