How we handle air source heat pumps in Fortune Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across radiator systems, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Fortune Green can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

FAQs for Fortune Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fortune Green?
Fortune Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Fortune Green?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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 work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What air conditioning won’t do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Improving the building’s insulation
If you’re not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Heat pumps in Fortune Green: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 58% of homes in the Fortune Green area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 83% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Historic houses such as Fenton House, about 0.7 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Fortune Green.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
