How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Hertfordshire?
In Hertfordshire, guide prices 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) usually comes to £4,795–£14,595 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed.
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 Hertfordshire
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Hertfordshire we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Hertfordshire
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
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.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Premises we work in around Hertfordshire
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
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).
Questions about air-to-air heat pumps in Hertfordshire
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Hertfordshire?
Guide prices in Hertfordshire 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 Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London?
Yes. Alongside Hertfordshire, we also cover Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London. 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.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
