Do you need air source heat pumps in Epping Upland?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Hill Hall lies about 4.2 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
How we handle air source heat pumps in Epping Upland
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and working out where a cylinder could go, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Epping Upland that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Epping Upland.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.

How to prepare

Questions from Epping Upland
Will you come out to Epping Upland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Epping Upland?
Epping Upland is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Air source heat pumps around Epping Upland
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 42% of homes in and around Epping Upland to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Epping Upland; Church of All Saints (grade II*) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Epping Forest council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
