Air source heat pumps in Rush Green, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are checking whether planning permission is needed and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Older and listed homes in villages like Rush Green need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Let and managed properties
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
FAQs for Rush Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Rush Green?
Rush Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Rush Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Rush Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Looking after your system
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
What a heat pump looks like in Rush Green
At about 21 miles from central London, Rush Green sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. In the mile around Rush Green’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
For a home near Ware station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of the Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
