Heat pump installation in Ulting, Essex
One call covers MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for in Ulting: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- No space for a hot water cylinder
What happens if it’s left?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Air source heat pumps in Ulting, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can help.
If your home in or near Ulting 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What a heat pump looks like in Ulting
Ulting’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Conservation Area. In the mile around Ulting’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 15 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ulting, Church of All Saints (grade II*) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Danbury Place, about 3.5 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What else we do in Ulting
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Ulting easier.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during 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

Ulting questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ulting?
Ulting 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Ulting?
Yes. Ulting is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
