Why it’s worth doing now in Hadlow

We explain which makes sense for you. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Hadlow.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hadlow
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 don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
In a place like Hadlow, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air source heat pumps around Hadlow
About 71% 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. Hadlow’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Hadlow Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Hadlow. Hadlow Tower, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 65 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hadlow’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Tonbridge and Malling council, which usually handles Hadlow before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to St Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Old Soar Manor about 2.6 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Hadlow: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hadlow?
Yes. Hadlow is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hadlow?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hadlow, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights, so we check during the survey.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Different systems, different jobs
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The application goes through the installer.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.

The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first.

- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
