How we handle air source heat pumps in Stansted Mountfitchet
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Stansted Mountfitchet and the rest of Essex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home.

Cottages and older homes near Stansted Mountfitchet can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

FAQs for Stansted Mountfitchet
Is the heat pump grant available in Stansted Mountfitchet?
Stansted Mountfitchet 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you cover smaller places like Stansted Mountfitchet?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Stansted Mountfitchet and across Essex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Book a yearly service
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
