How we handle air source heat pumps in Bobbing
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Bobbing and the rest of Kent. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
For a home around Bobbing that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, 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.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Bobbing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of any existing system
- How many units are involved
- The brand, model and parts involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Before you get in touch
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is

What we do, step by step
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Bobbing can be planned properly.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Bobbing
Bobbing is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. In the mile around Bobbing’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bobbing, including Church of St Bartholomew (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Swale council, normally the planning authority here. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 41% of homes in Bobbing and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well.
Period properties close to Church of St Bartholomew can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

FAQs for Bobbing
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bobbing?
Bobbing 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Bobbing within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Keep to regular servicing
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
A customer’s words
“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.”
