Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Dudswell
We install air source heat pumps in Dudswell and across Hertfordshire, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and no space for a hot water cylinder, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Dudswell typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Dudswell: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Dudswell?
Dudswell is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Dudswell within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Dudswell is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
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. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Dudswell
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Why act early in Dudswell
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Planning ahead for a job in Dudswell means we can bring everything needed.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Homes in Dudswell and heat pumps
Dudswell’s centre falls inside the Dudswell Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Dudswell and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Arne Cottage (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (typically Dacorum council). About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Cholesbury Manor House about 2.7 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Live in one of the older houses around Church of Saint Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

“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.”
