Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
About our air source heat pumps in Audley End
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We are often asked to deal with working out where a cylinder could go and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Audley End usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Audley End.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Audley End
Is a heat pump in Audley End permitted development?
It depends on the property. The Audley End Conservation Area is close to the centre of Audley End. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Uttlesford council, usually the authority for Audley End.
Is the heat pump grant available in Audley End?
Audley End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Do you work in Audley End?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Audley End.

Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
