The Hyde air source heat pumps
We cover The Hyde for MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a job in The Hyde, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in The Hyde
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
A terrace in The Hyde shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

What else we do in The Hyde
The Hyde: your questions answered
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in The Hyde?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically 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 The Hyde?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including The Hyde, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you cover The Hyde?
Yes. We cover The Hyde and across Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Let and managed properties
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Air source heat pumps in The Hyde: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 48% of homes in and around The Hyde date from 1919 to 1939. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Period properties close to St Matthias the Apostle church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Heath House about 3.2 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- File the MCS certificate safely
Should you have questions after the install, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
