About our air source heat pumps in Good Easter
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If you are dealing with deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Good Easter that’s 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, on top of the £7,500.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
If anything does not seem right after installation, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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 for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Good Easter, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Common questions in Good Easter
Can I fit a heat pump in Good Easter without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Good Easter Conservation Area is close to the centre of Good Easter. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Chelmsford council, which is normally the planning authority for Good Easter.
Will you come out to Good Easter?
Yes. Good Easter 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.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Heat pumps in Good Easter: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 52% of homes in Good Easter and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
