Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hawbush Green
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Hawbush Green and the rest of Essex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include comparing heat pump types and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
If your home in or near Hawbush Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Common problems we fix in Hawbush Green
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
For a home near Cressing station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
What your quote should include

Hawbush Green: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hawbush Green?
Hawbush Green 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.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Hawbush Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 14 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hawbush Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Hawbush Green, typically Braintree council) first.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How we price air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The address and the type of property
