Air source heat pumps for The Green and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed-price quote, the work and written records. Ask us for a fixed-price quote.
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near The Green is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in The Green
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is not knowing whether a grant applies and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
If your home in or near The Green 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, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. An early booking makes the visit to The Green easier to arrange.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Live in one of the older houses around St Barnabas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Homeowners near Cressing station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Common questions in The Green
Is The Green within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in The Green permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central The Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Braintree council, which is normally the planning authority for The Green first.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

“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.”
