The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Lower Nazeing.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.

Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in Lower Nazeing
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about questions about where the outdoor unit can go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Cottages and older homes near Lower Nazeing can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.

For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lower Nazeing
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lower Nazeing?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Lower Nazeing holds about 14 listed buildings and structures. 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 Epping Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Lower Nazeing first.
Is Lower Nazeing within the area you cover?
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 offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Common problems we fix in Lower Nazeing
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
