How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Somewhere like Curling Tye Green, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Curling Tye Green
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about finding a place for the outdoor unit and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
If your home in or near Curling Tye Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Curling Tye Green
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Comparing heat pump types
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Michael? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Curling Tye Green
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Curling Tye Green?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Curling Tye Green holds about 12 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Curling Tye Green, usually Maldon council).
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Curling Tye Green?
It can. Curling Tye Green is within about 3 miles 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: 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 phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
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. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Air source heat pumps in Curling Tye Green: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Curling Tye Green is close enough for sea air to matter. 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. The 2021 Census found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Danbury Place about 3.8 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
