Air source heat pumps in Parkeston, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. We’re often asked to deal with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and planning and permitted development questions, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Parkeston, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
FAQs for Parkeston
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Parkeston?
It can. Parkeston is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Parkeston?
Parkeston is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: 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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Parkeston and across Essex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Seal draughts where you can
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
