Air source heat pumps in Shoreditch, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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. If you’re dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Terraced houses in a London area like Shoreditch can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What a heat pump looks like in Shoreditch
About 39% of homes across Shoreditch and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 93% of households live in flats. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
With Mansion House about 1 mile south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is near Shoreditch High Street station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Why act early in Shoreditch
The two types suit different homes and needs.

We explain which makes sense for you. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Shoreditch early.

What else we do in Shoreditch
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Shoreditch questions
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Shoreditch?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Shoreditch?
Shoreditch is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you work in Shoreditch?
Yes. We work in Shoreditch and across Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Shoreditch.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
