About our air source heat pumps in Apsley
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and a boiler that’s getting old, we can sort it out.
Older homes around Apsley can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Apsley
Do you cover smaller places like Apsley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Apsley?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Apsley is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Apsley?
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
If you live near Apsley station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
What a heat pump looks like in Apsley
Apsley is about 23 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Apsley, including Snatchup End Cottages (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Historic houses such as High Elms Manor, about 4.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Apsley is about 1 mile south of Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire. Wherever you are in the HP3 postcode area, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Our Hertfordshire coverage runs to 381 places, and Apsley is one of them. We also work in London, around 23 miles away.

What else we do in Apsley
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a place like Apsley, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
