Air source heat pumps in Wyatt's Green
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. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
If your home in or near Wyatt's 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

FAQs for Wyatt's Green
Is a heat pump in Wyatt's Green permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Wyatt's 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 Brentwood council, which is normally the planning authority for Wyatt's Green first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Wyatt's Green?
Wyatt's Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- What electrical work the job needs
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How many units are involved
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit 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. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Wyatt's Green.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board

Homes in Wyatt's Green and heat pumps
