FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Mount Pleasant?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Mount Pleasant, if they qualify. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Mount Pleasant is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
About our air source heat pumps in Mount Pleasant
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
Homes around Mount Pleasant usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.

When to call us in Mount Pleasant
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
Period properties close to Church of St Mary the Virgin can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
Homes in Mount Pleasant and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes in the Mount Pleasant area were built in 2000 or later, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Mount Pleasant, including Saucemeres Farmhouse (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Uttlesford council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
