What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
About our air source heat pumps in Eythorne
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and comparing heat pump types, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Eythorne, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a village like Eythorne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- 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
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Eythorne: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Eythorne?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Eythorne?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Eythorne is in England, where it applies. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Air source heat pumps in Eythorne: the local picture
About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The centre of Eythorne lies within a conservation area. About 24 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Eythorne, Church of St Peter and St Paul (grade II*) among them. 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 (normally Dover council).
Period properties close to Church of St Peter and St Paul can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Goodnestone Park about 3.6 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
From one of our customers
“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.”
