About our air source heat pumps in Emerson Park
We install air source heat pumps in Emerson Park and across Greater London, and we’re 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
For flats in Emerson Park, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Emerson Park
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Emerson Park?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Emerson Park. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Havering council, which is usually the planning authority for Emerson Park.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Emerson Park?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Emerson Park and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Is Emerson Park in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Emerson Park, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
What affects the quote in Emerson Park
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The size of the job
- The pipe route between the units
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Homes in Emerson Park and heat pumps
About 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If your home is listed, like Hare Hall about 1.2 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Emerson Park
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. In a London area like Emerson Park, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Related advice
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
