About our air source heat pumps in Maze Hill
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
A terrace in Maze Hill shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What a heat pump looks like in Maze Hill
About 44% of homes across Maze Hill and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 66% of households live in flats. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder normally has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Queen's House, roughly 0.3 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Getting the work done in Maze Hill before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

FAQs for Maze Hill
Can I fit a heat pump in Maze Hill without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Maze Hill sits inside a conservation area. 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 don’t 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 the local planning authority (for Maze Hill, normally Greenwich council).
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Maze Hill?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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 I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. Businesses pay the standard rate, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
