Homes in Upshire and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 37% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Hill Hall, roughly 4.7 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Thomas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

About our air source heat pumps in Upshire
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Upshire need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Underfloor heating
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Radiator systems
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Hot water cylinders
- Air-to-air heat pumps
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Planning ahead for a job in Upshire means we can bring everything needed.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Upshire.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

What else we do in Upshire
Upshire questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upshire?
Upshire is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will a heat pump in Upshire need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Upshire sits inside the Upshire Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Upshire, normally Epping Forest council).
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
