About our air source heat pumps in Eastwick
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. If you are dealing with deciding on the outdoor unit position and comparing heat pump types, we can sort it out.
Homes around Eastwick typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Eastwick
Is Eastwick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Eastwick?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Eastwick holds about 13 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 Harlow council, which is typically the planning authority for Eastwick.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home with an MCS certified installer.
For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Eastwick easier.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.

What we’re called out for in Eastwick
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Botolph? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

Homes in Eastwick and heat pumps
About 70% of homes across Eastwick and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 46% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Homeowners near Harlow Town station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
