Air source heat pumps in Gallows Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t 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. Typical jobs include choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Gallows Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Gallows Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The make and model of the system, from the label

Gallows Green questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Gallows Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Gallows Green. 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 planning department at Colchester council, normally the authority for Gallows Green.
Is Gallows Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Gallows Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
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.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They do not heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Air source heat pumps in Gallows Green: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in Gallows Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
