Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Kelvedon
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If you’re dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
For a house near Kelvedon, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Heat pumps in Kelvedon: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Parish Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Kelvedon: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Kelvedon?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will a heat pump in Kelvedon need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Kelvedon sits inside the Kelvedon Conservation Area. 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 the local planning authority (for Kelvedon, typically Braintree council).
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
