Air source heat pumps in Mulberry Green: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in Mulberry Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
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. Layer Marney Tower, roughly 2.8 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Air source heat pumps in Mulberry Green
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Mulberry Green that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Safe owner checks
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.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Mulberry Green
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What state the existing equipment is in
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Mulberry Green.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.

The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Mulberry Green questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Mulberry Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 9 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Mulberry Green. 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 Mulberry Green, normally Colchester council).
Will you come out to Mulberry Green?
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.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Do you work on all makes?
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 tell you why.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
