Collier Row questions
Do you cover Collier Row for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Collier Row is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Collier Row?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
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 systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Collier Row
We install air source heat pumps in Collier Row and across Greater London, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with deciding on the outdoor unit position and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
A terrace in Collier Row shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, 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, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep radiators clear
If anything does not seem right after installation, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Leave it or put it right?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. Planning ahead in Collier Row means you choose the date, not the weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Collier Row
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Hare Hall, roughly 1.7 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
What your quote should include
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- What records you get at the end
What we do, step by step
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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Collier Row.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Advice
Heat pumps in Collier Row: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 59% of homes in and around Collier Row date from 1919 to 1939, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
