How we handle air source heat pumps in Stondon Massey
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
If your home in or near Stondon Massey 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Stondon Massey questions
Will you come out to Stondon Massey?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stondon Massey?
Stondon Massey 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 are MCS certified.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Stondon Massey.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Heat pumps in Stondon Massey: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Giles Cottages (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Brentwood council, usually the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 50% of homes across Stondon Massey and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 88% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall, about 4.5 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.

- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
