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 a job in Luton 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. In Luton we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
What to think about in Luton
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Luton 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.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Luton
- 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.
FAQs for Luton
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Luton?

Do you also cover Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin?
Yes. Alongside Luton, we also cover Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Luton?
All of them, including EX14, LU1, ME5 and TQ13. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
