How we handle air source heat pumps in Surrey Canal
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. If you are dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
Homes in Surrey Canal are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Surrey Canal questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Surrey Canal?
Surrey Canal is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Surrey Canal?
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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Planning ahead in Surrey Canal means you choose the date, not the weather.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Different systems, different jobs
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, 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 helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What a heat pump looks like in Surrey Canal
VOA council tax data show about 37% of homes in and around Surrey Canal were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 78% of households live in flats. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If your home is listed, like Queen's House about 2.1 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near St Katharine with St Bartholomew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
