Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Monk Street
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about questions about where the outdoor unit can go and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Monk Street, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Monk Street
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What state the existing equipment is in
- What electrical work the job needs
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Monk Street.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
Homes in Monk Street and heat pumps
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Horham Hall about 1.5 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Monk Street: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Monk Street need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Monk Street holds about 14 listed buildings and structures. 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 Monk Street, typically Uttlesford council).
Will you come out to Monk Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.

From one of our customers
