Air source heat pumps in Cudham: the local picture
The Cudham Village Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Cudham, within about a third of a mile. In the mile around Cudham’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Cudham; Church of St Peter and St Paul (grade II*) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Down House, roughly 1.4 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

About our air source heat pumps in Cudham
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include checking emitters for a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Cudham 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Cudham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Cudham?
Yes. Cudham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Cudham?
Cudham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Why act early in Cudham
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. For a village like Cudham, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. If a lane or gateway near Cudham is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
From one of our customers
“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.”
