Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
About our air source heat pumps in Bocking's Elm
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
For a house near Bocking's Elm, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Think of the paperwork as the 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.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we 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. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Bocking's Elm.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Bocking's Elm.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.

Bocking's Elm questions
Is Bocking's Elm within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bocking's Elm?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bocking's Elm, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Bocking's Elm and across Essex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
