- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep radiators clear
- File the MCS certificate safely
Should you have questions after the install, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Ugley Green
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Ugley Green usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ugley Green
Is the heat pump grant available in Ugley Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ugley Green, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Ugley Green need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Ugley Green holds about 17 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Uttlesford council, typically the authority for Ugley Green.
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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Air source heat pumps in Ugley Green: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in and around Ugley Green were built in 2000 or later, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 4.2 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Ugley Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Why act early in Ugley Green
