How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. 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 on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Steventon End can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Air source heat pumps in Steventon End, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Steventon End is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Write down what you notice: 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.

Steventon End questions
Do you cover smaller places like Steventon End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Steventon End?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Steventon End holds about 11 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Uttlesford council, which is usually the planning authority for Steventon End.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids do not qualify, among other rules.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. It won’t apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.

What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
