Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Tendring Green
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
If your home in or near Tendring Green 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, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating

Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.

The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Tendring Green easier.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tendring Green
Do you cover smaller places like Tendring Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Tendring Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Tendring Green holds about 3 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 the planning department at Tendring council, typically the authority for Tendring Green.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Hotels and businesses pay the standard rate, and this isn’t tax advice.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions, and we check before you commit.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Tendring Green?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
What we are most often called about:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Edmund? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tendring Green
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
What a customer said
“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.”
