What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Swan Street around you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

About our air source heat pumps in Swan Street
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Typical jobs include choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Swan Street that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Write down what you notice: 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.
What a heat pump looks like in Swan Street
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes in the Swan Street area were built in 2000 or later, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Barnabas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Local landmarks in Swan Street
In Swan Street, that means homes and buildings near The Swan pub and the streets around them. Swan Street’s nearest station is Chappel & Wakes Colne station, roughly 1 mile north-east. Nearby you will also find Halstead Hospital (5.3 miles north-west) and Mount Bures (3.4 miles north). The countryside around Swan Street includes Sergeants Orchard.
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Swan Street: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Swan Street?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Swan Street, if they qualify. 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 don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Swan Street need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Swan Street. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Colchester council, typically the authority for Swan Street.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
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 isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
What a customer said
“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.”
