About our air source heat pumps in Ashfield
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
If your home in or near Ashfield is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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.

When to call us in Ashfield
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Boniface? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
What else we do in Ashfield
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What kind of system it is
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Questions from Ashfield
Will you come out to Ashfield?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ashfield?
Ashfield is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
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. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
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.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
What a heat pump looks like in Ashfield
At about 3 miles from the coast, Ashfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The last census (2021) found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Lee Manor House (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Test Valley council) before the heat pump design is finished.
South Stoneham House, roughly 4.8 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Ashfield is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. From the centre of Ashfield to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones.

We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (10 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Fareham (14 miles south-east) and Totton (3 miles south).

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Ashfield so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by 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.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
