Why deal with it now?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Great Canney
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If you’re dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Great Canney that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Great Canney
Do you cover smaller places like Great Canney?
Yes. Great Canney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the heat pump grant available in Great Canney?
Great Canney is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Heat pumps in Great Canney: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Great Canney, including Thatched Cottage (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Maldon council, typically the planning authority here.
If your home is one of the older properties near Parish Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Great Canney is about 4 miles south of Maldon, in Essex.
