Air source heat pumps in Tilty
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are comparing heat pump types and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
For a home around Tilty 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.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Tilty.

Advice
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Tilty
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Why act early in Tilty

Air source heat pumps in Tilty: the local picture
Church of St Mary the Virgin, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Tilty’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Uttlesford council, which typically handles Tilty before the heat pump design is finished. VOA council tax data show about 44% of homes across Tilty and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Horham Hall about 2 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Church of St Mary the Virgin can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tilty
Is the heat pump grant available in Tilty?
Tilty is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Tilty?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
A customer’s words
“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.”
