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.

How we work in Leicestershire
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Leicestershire 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.
What to think about in Leicestershire
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Leicestershire 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.
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 Leicestershire
- 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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Questions about air-to-air heat pumps in Leicestershire
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Leicestershire?
Guide prices in Leicestershire 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 Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire?
Yes. Alongside Leicestershire, we also cover Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
