Air source heat pumps in Hatfield Peverel and nearby

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Hatfield Peverel.

  1. First we talk through the property and the current system.
  2. We measure heat loss for every room.
  3. From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
  4. Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
  5. We install, commission and register the system under MCS.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Ask for a quote

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air source heat pumps in Hatfield Peverel, done properly

A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home 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. If you are dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.

If your home near Hatfield Peverel has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.

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.

When to call us in Hatfield Peverel

Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
  • Working out whether radiators need upsizing
  • Planning and permitted development questions

Danbury Place, roughly 4.5 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

What your quote should include

  • How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
  • Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
  • Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

What air source heat pumps can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Planning decisions, which rest with the council
  • Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
  • A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules

If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
  • Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
  • Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit

Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.

Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hatfield Peverel

Is a heat pump in Hatfield Peverel permitted development?

It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Hatfield Peverel holds about 18 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 local planning authority (for Hatfield Peverel, typically Braintree council).

Do you cover smaller places like Hatfield Peverel?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

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 booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.

What warranty do I get?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?

A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify, and it must cover the whole heating demand.

From one of our customers

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
