About our air source heat pumps in Chartridge
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; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. We are often asked to deal with finding a place for the outdoor unit and checking emitters for a heat pump, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Chartridge is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

When to call us in Chartridge
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.
What we are most often called about:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If your home is one of the older properties near St John's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Common questions in Chartridge
Will a heat pump in Chartridge need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Chartridge. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Chartridge, usually Buckinghamshire council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Chartridge?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Chartridge, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Is Chartridge in your area?
Yes. We work in Chartridge and across Buckinghamshire, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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 do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site 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, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near Chartridge is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
