About our air source heat pumps in Boldre
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Older and listed homes in villages like Boldre need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

FAQs for Boldre
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Boldre?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Boldre, 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 are MCS certified.
Is Boldre 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.
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. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
What affects the quote in Boldre
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Boldre easier.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a quote
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Air source heat pumps around Boldre
The coast is only about 2 miles from Boldre. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The 2021 Census found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Boldre’s centre falls inside the Forest South East Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Boldre. The Red Lion Inn, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 5 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Boldre’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around Saint Nicholas Chapel? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Common problems we fix in Boldre
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
What we are most often called about:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
