Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Rush Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Your installation or service records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Want a quote for air source heat pumps? Please phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details about the property. We’ll explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
Air source heat pumps in Rush Green, done properly
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t 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 replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For flats in Rush Green, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Homes in Rush Green and heat pumps
About 45% of homes in the Rush Green area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Historic houses such as Hare Hall, about 2.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Rush Green is about 1 mile south-west of Romford, in Greater London.

The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Rush Green.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
What we are called out for in Rush Green
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
If your home is one of the older properties near St Augustine of Canterbury Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Questions from Rush Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Rush Green?
Rush Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover Rush Green for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Rush Green is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Rush Green and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
When something else is needed
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
