Local knowledge

Heating engineers who know Amersham's homes

Amersham is really two towns in one, and the heating work each half needs is quite different. We work across both HP6 and HP7, and we tailor every job to the property in front of us.

Down in Old Amersham, the historic high street and the lanes running off it are lined with period and listed cottages — thick solid walls, low ceilings and a building fabric that deserves respect. A new boiler installation here is rarely a straight swap: flue routes, condensate runs and pipework all need careful, sympathetic planning so the system performs properly without scarring a home that has stood for centuries. We assess each cottage on its own terms, route everything as discreetly as possible and keep an eye on any listed building considerations.

Up at Amersham-on-the-Hill, it's a different picture. The streets that grew up around the station in the 1920s and 30s — classic Metro-land — are full of solid, well-proportioned family homes. These houses respond brilliantly to a proper central heating upgrade: a high-efficiency boiler, modern controls, balanced radiators and, increasingly, an air source heat pump. As MCS certified installers we fit Vaillant aroTHERM units that qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and the generous plots and brick-built construction up on the hill often make these homes good candidates for low-carbon heating.

Because Amersham sits within the Chilterns, we always think carefully about where an external heat pump unit goes — siting it sensitively, keeping it quiet and mindful of conservation-area and planning considerations. It's the kind of detail that comes from genuinely knowing the area. Amersham is one of the towns we cover most across Buckinghamshire, and being just down the road in High Wycombe keeps our travel times short whether you're off the A413 in the Old Town or up near the station.

Questions

Amersham heating FAQs

Do you cover both Old Amersham and Amersham-on-the-Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole of Amersham across the HP6 and HP7 postcodes, from the historic Old Town down by the Misbourne to the Metro-land streets around Amersham-on-the-Hill station, plus the surrounding villages towards Chesham, Little Chalfont and the Chalfonts.

Can you install a boiler in a period or listed cottage in Old Amersham?

Yes, and we do it sympathetically. Old Amersham has many period and listed cottages where flue routes, pipework and condensate need careful planning to suit thick solid walls and historic fabric. We assess each property individually, keep disruption to a minimum and route everything as discreetly as possible, advising on listed building considerations where they apply.

Do you fit air source heat pumps in Amersham?

Yes. We are MCS certified and install Vaillant aroTHERM air source heat pumps, which qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on eligible properties. The solid 1930s family homes around Amersham-on-the-Hill are often well suited to a heat pump. In the Chilterns and conservation areas we plan external unit siting carefully to respect the surroundings and any planning considerations.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Smith's Heating Services is Gas Safe and OFTEC registered, a Worcester Bosch Gold Accredited Installer since 2003 and MCS certified for heat pumps. We work on gas, oil and LPG systems as well as air source heat pumps and air conditioning across Amersham.
