What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of any existing system
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Air source heat pumps in Addiscombe, done properly
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
In a London area like Addiscombe, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and typically a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Homes in Addiscombe and heat pumps
About 44% of homes in the Addiscombe area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Period properties close to St Mildred's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Addington Palace about 2 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Other services in Addiscombe
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Why act early in Addiscombe
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. Planning ahead in Addiscombe means you choose the date, not the weather.

Addiscombe questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Addiscombe?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Addiscombe. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Croydon council, which is usually the planning authority for Addiscombe.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Addiscombe?
Addiscombe is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Addiscombe and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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 the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. 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 where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Addiscombe in advance.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
