The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. 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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Perry Green.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Perry Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
If your home in or near Perry Green 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, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Perry Green: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Perry Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Perry Green is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Perry Green?
It depends on the property. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Perry Green. 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 Braintree council, usually the authority for Perry Green first.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Improving the building’s insulation
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that, under HMRC Notice 708/6. Businesses pay the standard rate.
Heat pumps in Perry Green: local notes
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Perry Green
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
