How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Kendal?
Our guide range in Kendal is £1,595–£3,850 per zone before VAT; a typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) is £4,350–£13,250 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.
Where we work around Kendal
In Kendal, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units.
We cover every Kendal postcode, including LA9. Neighbouring towns we cover include Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness. In Kendal we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.

How it works in Kendal
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 Kendal 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 Kendal
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
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.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Working hours
Most Kendal businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Types of premises we cover in Kendal
- 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).

Which postcodes do you cover in Kendal?
All of them, including LA9. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
