Air source heat pumps in Bishopsgate
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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are planning and permitted development questions and not knowing whether a grant applies.
If your home in or near Bishopsgate 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Bishopsgate?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Frogmore House lies about 2.5 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s in the price and what is not
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- What records you get at the end
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered, so check with the council.
Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
Why act early in Bishopsgate
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Planning ahead for a job in Bishopsgate means we can bring everything needed.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Air source heat pumps around Bishopsgate
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 34% of homes in the Bishopsgate area were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes.
Period properties close to Royal Chapel of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Bishopsgate.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Bishopsgate: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bishopsgate?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bishopsgate. 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 the planning department at Runnymede council, usually the authority for Bishopsgate first.
Is Bishopsgate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
