About our air source heat pumps in Dagenham Dock
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. We’re often asked to deal with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
In a flat in Dagenham Dock, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Heat pumps in Dagenham Dock: local notes
About 45% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Period properties close to St Martin's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

FAQs for Dagenham Dock
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Dagenham Dock?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Dagenham Dock, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Dagenham Dock?
Yes, Dagenham Dock is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
