Leave it or put it right?
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.

Air source heat pumps in Broad Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
In a place like Broad Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Broad Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Broad Green?
Broad Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Broad Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Broad Green holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Colchester council, which is usually the planning authority for Broad Green.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

What we are called out for in Broad Green
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
Look out for these signs:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St James, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Broad Green can be planned properly.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
