Air source heat pumps in Moreton, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If you are dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Moreton is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Moreton
Do you cover smaller places like Moreton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Moreton?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Moreton Conservation Area, close to central Moreton. 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 don’t 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 Epping Forest council, normally the authority for Moreton.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.

What we are called out for in Moreton
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What your quote should include
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
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 the paperwork can go to both.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Moreton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Moreton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- How easy the units are to reach
- How many units are involved
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
