What makes a heat pump work well

  • Proper system design tailored to your home

  • Correct sizing and setup

  • Good insulation (or upgrades where needed)

  • Suitable radiators or heating distribution

What may need to be addressed

Homes with poor insulation, older or undersized radiators, or higher heat loss may require some upgrades to get the best performance from a heat pump. We’ll assess your home properly and design the system to suit it, and if any improvements are needed, we’ll explain everything clearly before you proceed.

Still Heating Your Home with Oil? There's a Better Way.

Rising oil prices are making home heating more expensive and unpredictable than ever. Many homeowners across Essex are now switching to air source heat pumps to take back control of their energy costs and future-proof their homes.

At EPC, we specialise in designing and installing heat pump systems that deliver consistent, reliable heating all year round—without the volatility of oil. With the current £9,000 government grant, plus our local Terling group discount, upgrading has never been more affordable.

Air source heat pumps work by extracting heat from the outside air to warm your home and provide hot water efficiently—even in cold weather. The result is a modern, low-maintenance system that offers stable running costs, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and long-term peace of mind.

Based in Chelmsford and established in 2016, we provide a complete service—from system design through to installation and ongoing support. We also handle oil tank removal, making the switch simple from start to finish.

If you're currently relying on oil, now is the time to explore a smarter, more stable way to heat your home.

Can a Heat Pump Keep Your Home Warm in Winter?

Absolutely! Heat pumps are designed to efficiently heat your home, even during the coldest winter months. They work by extracting heat from the outside air and compressing it under high pressure to generate warmth.

The beauty of heat pump technology is that it doesn’t rely on warm outside air. Even in freezing temperatures, a heat pump can absorb heat from the air and transfer it into your home, keeping you and your family cosy all winter long. With a heat pump, you can enjoy reliable, energy-efficient heating no matter the weather.

Are Heat Pumps Noisy?

Heat pumps do produce some noise as part of their operation, but modern systems are designed to be as quiet as possible. At EPC Improvements, all our heat pump installations are MCS Certified, ensuring they meet strict quality and noise standards.

Our installations are guaranteed to have a noise level of 45 decibels or less at a distance of 1 metre—that’s quieter than a typical fridge and only slightly louder than rustling leaves. With our expert installation and advanced heat pump models, you can enjoy efficient, low-noise heating for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about switching from oil to a heat pump? Here are the most common questions we get from homeowners:

Benefits of Switching to Renewable Energy
Switching to renewable energy solutions like heat pumps and solar panels offers several significant benefits. These include drastically reduced energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, enhanced property value, and greater energy independence. By opting for sustainable systems, you’ll not only lower your reliance on fossil fuels but also contribute to a cleaner, greener future for your home and the planet.
Do Air Source Heat Pumps Make a Lot of Noise?
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are engineered for quiet operation, making them ideal for residential use. While they generate some noise from their components, all heat pumps installed by EPC Improvements are MCS Certified, ensuring a maximum noise level of 45 decibels at 1 metre—quieter than a typical fridge and comparable to the sound of rustling leaves. With our expert installations, you can enjoy efficient heating without unnecessary noise.
Will My Heat Pump Work in Colder Temperatures During Winter?
Yes! Heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently even in freezing temperatures. They can extract heat from the air when it’s as cold as -10°C, providing consistent warmth and hot water throughout the coldest winter months. With an EPC-installed heat pump, you can trust your home will remain cosy no matter the weather.
Do Heat Pumps Work with Existing Radiators, Solar Panels, and Underfloor Heating?
Heat pumps are versatile and can integrate seamlessly with existing radiators and underfloor heating systems. Underfloor heating is particularly effective because it covers a larger area, allowing it to provide comfortable warmth at lower temperatures. Additionally, pairing your heat pump with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels can further reduce energy costs and minimise your carbon footprint, offering a comprehensive renewable energy solution for your home.
Where Does the Heat Pump Get Installed?
Your heat pump will be installed outside your property, typically at the side or rear to maintain your home’s aesthetic appeal. It will be placed on a sturdy, level surface such as a concrete base to ensure stability and optimal performance. For efficiency and regulatory compliance, the heat pump must also have sufficient airflow and be located at least 1 metre away from any property boundary.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Heat Pump?
In most cases, installing an Air Source Heat Pump does not require planning permission, as it is considered permitted development under UK regulations. However, if your property is in a protected area or includes a wind turbine, additional permissions may be needed. To ensure compliance, always check with your local authority or consult the EPC Improvements team for guidance.
