Signs you need air source heat pumps in Row Green
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Air source heat pumps in Row Green, done properly
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. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can help.
If your home in or near Row 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.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Row Green questions
Will you come out to Row Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Row Green?
Row Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Before you call an engineer
Leave the units and pipework where they are. 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.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Homes in Row Green and heat pumps
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Oak Farm House (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Braintree council, usually the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Church in Great Notley, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Row Green.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
