After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Diary the next service
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Edney Common
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are working out whether radiators need upsizing and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Homes around Edney Common normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved.

Common questions in Edney Common
Is Edney Common in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Edney Common is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is the heat pump grant available in Edney Common?
Edney Common is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
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 you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
What does an air-to-water 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.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book it.
Air source heat pumps in Edney Common: the local picture
About 26 miles out from central London, Edney Common is part of the South East area we work across. About 60% of homes in and around Edney Common date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to St Paul's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Hylands lies about 2 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Edney Common is about 4 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Anywhere in CM1, we can help with air source heat pumps. We cover 644 places across Essex, large and small. London, roughly 26 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Our working area takes in CM1, every street of it.

Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
