Heat pumps in Greensted Green: local notes
About 44% of homes in and around Greensted Green date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Greensted Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Hill Hall about 3.2 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

About our air source heat pumps in Greensted Green
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and working out where a cylinder could go.
For a home around Greensted Green 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

For landlords and property managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Essex. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.

FAQs for Greensted Green
Will you come out to Greensted Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Greensted Green permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Greensted Green holds about 8 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 the planning department at Epping Forest council, typically the authority for Greensted Green.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Diary the next service
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
If anything does not seem right after installation, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Greensted Green.
