Air source heat pumps in Paglesham
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, 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. If you’re dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Paglesham need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for Paglesham
Will you come out to Paglesham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit a heat pump in Paglesham without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Paglesham. 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 the planning department at Rochford council, normally the authority for Paglesham first.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Paglesham
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The pipe route between the units
- What electrical work the job needs
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Paglesham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
