What affects the quote in Chislehurst
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The size of the job
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the existing equipment is in
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Air source heat pumps in Chislehurst
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Terraced houses in a London area like Chislehurst can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Air source heat pumps in Chislehurst: the local picture
For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
For a home near Chislehurst station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Historic houses such as Bromley Palace, about 2 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Chislehurst is about 3 miles north-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Homes and businesses alike in Chislehurst, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps.

How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
This is general information, not tax advice.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The application goes through the installer.
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Common questions in Chislehurst
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Chislehurst?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Chislehurst, if they qualify. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Chislehurst need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Chislehurst is in the Chislehurst Conservation Area. 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Bromley council, which is normally the planning authority for Chislehurst.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Is Chislehurst in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Chislehurst.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit 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. Before a visit in Chislehurst, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
