Heat pump installers in Buttsole
Air source heat pumps across Buttsole and nearby, from the first look to the final check and a fixed price agreed before we start.
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. For a place like Buttsole, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Buttsole
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you are dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Buttsole need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Buttsole: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Buttsole?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Buttsole, 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.
Is Buttsole 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.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Keep radiators clear
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.

What a heat pump looks like in Buttsole
The middle of Buttsole is part of a conservation area. Eastry Court, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 40 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Buttsole’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Dover council, normally the planning authority here where necessary. About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 3.5 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near Church of St Mary the Virgin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
