FAQs for Quendon
Is the heat pump grant available in Quendon?
Quendon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is a heat pump in Quendon permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Quendon and Rickling Conservation Area takes in the middle of Quendon. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Uttlesford council, usually the authority for Quendon.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Air source heat pumps in Quendon
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. Common call-outs are for working out whether radiators need upsizing and working out where a cylinder could go, across hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home around Quendon that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep radiators clear
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Air source heat pumps around Quendon
The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Horham Hall about 4.6 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Church of Quendon may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Why act early in Quendon
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

Let and managed properties
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Quendon is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
