- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Aimes Green.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Aimes Green
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 you are dealing with working out where a cylinder could go and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
In a place like Aimes Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Honest limits
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation

Air source heat pumps around Aimes Green
About 15 miles out from central London, Aimes Green is part of the South East area we work across. The 2021 Census found about 37% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Forty Hall, roughly 4.6 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Questions from Aimes Green
Is Aimes Green in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Aimes Green is one of the places we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Aimes Green?
Aimes Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
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 prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Why deal with it now?
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, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
