How we handle air source heat pumps in Hale
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hale, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

FAQs for Hale
Is the heat pump grant available in Hale?
Hale is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Hale?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Hale, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What affects the quote in Hale
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The equipment or parts the job needs
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. An early booking makes the visit to Hale easier to arrange.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.

What a heat pump looks like in Hale
In the mile around Hale’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 10 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Hale; Weybourne House (grade II*) is one. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Waverley council) where needed. About 42% of homes in the Hale area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Church of St John the Evangelist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Farnham Castle, roughly 1.1 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
