Air source heat pumps in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is working out whether radiators need upsizing and planning and permitted development questions, we can sort it out.
For a home around Tilbury Juxta Clare that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Do you cover smaller places like Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Tilbury Juxta Clare?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tilbury Juxta Clare. 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 the planning department at Braintree council, typically the authority for Tilbury Juxta Clare first.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Tilbury Juxta Clare and across Essex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.

Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.

Homes in Tilbury Juxta Clare and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Parish Church of St Margaret, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is listed, like Hedingham Castle about 3 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Tilbury Juxta Clare is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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.”
