If your home is listed, like Red House about 2.3 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If you live near Belvedere station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lessness Heath
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Homes in Lessness Heath are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lessness Heath
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lessness Heath?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Erith Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of Lessness Heath. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Bexley council, usually the authority for Lessness Heath first.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Lessness Heath?
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 offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
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.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Approvals for flats in Lessness Heath can take longer than the install itself.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
