Air source heat pumps in Loves Green
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
Older and listed homes in villages like Loves Green need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Essex. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Loves Green so we arrive with what’s needed.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Advice
Looking after your system
So the system stays in good health:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Questions from Loves Green
Is the heat pump grant available in Loves Green?
Loves Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Loves Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

What a heat pump looks like in Loves Green
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 60% of homes in the Loves Green area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Loves Green, including Ward's Cottage (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Chelmsford council, which usually handles Loves Green.
With Hylands about 2.8 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is one of the older properties near St Paul's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

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. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Loves Green.
