Air source heat pumps in Peldon
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. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Peldon, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Peldon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. 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.

Heat pumps in Peldon: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Peldon. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 19 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Peldon, Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Colchester council, which usually handles Peldon where needed. The last census (2021) found about 90% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary the Virgin? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Layer Marney Tower, roughly 3.9 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Peldon questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Peldon?
It can, as Peldon is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is the heat pump grant available in Peldon?
Peldon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
