FAQs for Teddington
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Teddington?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Teddington?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Teddington is in England, where it applies. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
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. We explain the options after the survey.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
About our air source heat pumps in Teddington
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. We are often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and checking emitters for a heat pump, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes in Teddington are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Homes in Teddington and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 46% of homes in and around Teddington before 1919. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Older homes near Christ Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Strawberry Hill House about 0.8 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Teddington
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Teddington.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Related advice
After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.
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.”
