About our air source heat pumps in Beacon Hill
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Typical jobs include ageing boilers that will need replacing and working out where a cylinder could go, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Beacon Hill, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Beacon Hill
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

- Proof of F-Gas company certification

What a heat pump looks like in Beacon Hill
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Alban can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Beacon Hill
Can I fit a heat pump in Beacon Hill without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Beacon Hill holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at Waverley council, typically the authority for Beacon Hill.
Will you come out to Beacon Hill?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Why act early in Beacon Hill
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
