- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Some blocks in Canons Park need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get 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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

About our air source heat pumps in Canons Park
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and no space for a hot water cylinder, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders.
A terrace in Canons Park shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Heat pumps in Canons Park: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 54% of homes in the Canons Park area date from 1919 to 1939. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Period properties close to Church of St Lawrence can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Canons Park
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Canons Park?
Canons Park is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Canons Park?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Canons Park is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Canons Park, typically Harrow council).
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to book it.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
A customer’s words
“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.”
