Air Source Heat Pumps in Manwood Green
Need air source heat pumps in Manwood Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, finishing with proper records.
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Manwood Green
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
For a home around Manwood Green that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How we price air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- How easy the units are to reach
- The brand, model and parts involved
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The address and the type of property
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
When to call us in Manwood Green
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Planning and permitted development questions
Older homes near Church of St Martin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Manwood Green.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Advice
Questions from Manwood Green
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Manwood Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Manwood Green holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Manwood Green, usually Epping Forest council).
Is Manwood Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
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 new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
