Questions from Woodham Ferrers
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Woodham Ferrers?
Woodham Ferrers is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Woodham Ferrers?
Yes. Woodham Ferrers is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
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.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
About our air source heat pumps in Woodham Ferrers
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Woodham Ferrers and the rest of Essex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Woodham Ferrers need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Woodham Ferrers, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Get a fixed-price quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
