Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. Businesses pay the standard rate.
About our air source heat pumps in Goodley Stock
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. We’re often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and a boiler that’s getting old, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Goodley Stock is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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 every service is written up.

Goodley Stock questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Goodley Stock?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Goodley Stock, 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Goodley Stock need planning permission?
It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Goodley Stock. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with Sevenoaks council, which is usually the planning authority for Goodley Stock.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
What a heat pump looks like in Goodley Stock
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 40% of homes in and around Goodley Stock before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Holy Trinity Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

On site, the work 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. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Goodley Stock can be planned properly.

- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.

- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive

When to call us in Goodley Stock
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
If your home is listed, like Chartwell about 1 mile east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
