Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Langford
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Langford normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

For landlords and property managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens if it’s left?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. For a village like Langford, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Air source heat pumps in Langford: the local picture
Langford is within about 3 miles of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The last census (2021) found about 69% 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. Langford’s centre falls inside the Langford Conservation Area. In the mile around Langford’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 15 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Giles (grade II*). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Maldon council, which typically handles Langford where needed.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Giles? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Questions from Langford
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Langford?
It can. Langford is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do you cover smaller places like Langford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
