What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Abbess Roding.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

About our air source heat pumps in Abbess Roding
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Abbess Roding and the rest of Essex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We’re often asked to deal with planning and permitted development questions and ageing boilers that will need replacing, on radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Abbess Roding, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Abbess Roding questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Abbess Roding?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Abbess Roding, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Abbess Roding?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Air source heat pumps around Abbess Roding
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Abbess Roding, you reach the Abbess Roding Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 16 within half a mile of the centre, such as Clare House (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (normally Uttlesford council). The last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Barrington Hall about 4.2 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Abbess Roding
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- A boiler that’s getting old
Period properties close to Church of St Edmund can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
