Air source heat pumps in Well Hall

FAQs for Well Hall

Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Well Hall?

There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Well Hall is in a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Greenwich council, usually the authority for Well Hall first.

Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Well Hall?

Well Hall is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

Which brands do you work with?

We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

About our air source heat pumps in Well Hall

For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and people most often call us about deciding on the outdoor unit position and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.

In a flat in Well Hall, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the visit works

Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Well Hall will be.

  1. We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
  2. We measure heat loss for every room.
  3. From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
  4. Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
  5. Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.

How to prepare

  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
  • Let us know where we can park and unload

What happens if it’s left?

Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Well Hall before summer avoids the wait.

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

What a heat pump looks like in Well Hall

About 58% of homes in and around Well Hall were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 38% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.

If your home is near Eltham station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Period properties close to St Barnabas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

How the job changes from property to property

Hot water cylinders

The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.

Air-to-water heat pumps

The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Well Hall

Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.

From one of our customers

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
