About our air source heat pumps in Fleet
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about moving away from fossil-fuel heating and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Around Fleet, most people asking about heat pumps have a gas boiler now. A survey looks at heat loss, radiators, the hot water cylinder and where the outdoor unit can go, then design the system.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What we’re called out for in Fleet
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Farnham Castle lies about 4.1 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site 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, and we tidy up before we leave. In a town like Fleet, we fit the visit around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fleet
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.

Homes in Fleet and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 54% of homes in and around Fleet to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Fleet Methodist Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Fleet
Is a heat pump in Fleet permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Fleet sits inside a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Fleet, usually Hart council) first.
Is Fleet in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Fleet is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
What a customer said
“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.”
