About our air source heat pumps in Allhallows-on-Sea
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
In a place like Allhallows-on-Sea, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Common questions in Allhallows-on-Sea
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Allhallows-on-Sea?
It can. Allhallows-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will you come out to Allhallows-on-Sea?
Yes. Allhallows-on-Sea is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
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 and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Seal draughts where you can
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Allhallows-on-Sea, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Allhallows-on-Sea?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before you book anyone
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted

- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Homes in Allhallows-on-Sea and heat pumps
The coast is only about 1 mile from Allhallows-on-Sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. VOA council tax data date about 44% of homes in the Allhallows-on-Sea area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
