Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
About our air source heat pumps in Rose Green
We install air source heat pumps in Rose Green and across Essex, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
For a home around Rose Green that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
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.

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Rose Green.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
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.

FAQs for Rose Green
Will you come out to Rose Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Rose Green without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 17 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Rose Green. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Rose Green, typically Colchester council).
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Heat pumps in Rose Green: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in Rose Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. 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.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Barnabas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. Hot water needs a separate source so you will need another way to heat it.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The installer applies.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
