About our air source heat pumps in Little Parndon
We install air source heat pumps in Little Parndon and across Essex, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include comparing heat pump types and no space for a hot water cylinder, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a house near Little Parndon, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Leave it or put it right?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation

Common problems we fix in Little Parndon
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
The things we are asked about most are:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it 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. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Little Parndon when you book.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Little Parndon: your questions answered
Is Little Parndon within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Little Parndon permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Little Parndon. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Harlow council, normally the authority for Little Parndon.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Homes in Little Parndon and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 70% of homes in Little Parndon and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Homeowners near Harlow Town station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
