When to call us in Haine
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Older homes near St Christopher's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Haine
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home around Haine that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it 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. We plan the trip to Haine around you.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Haine questions
Is Haine within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Haine?
Haine is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
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 isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
What air conditioning will not do
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Homes in Haine and heat pumps
The coast is only about 2 miles from Haine. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Haine, including Haine Farmhouse (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 planning team at Thanet council, which typically handles Haine. About 45% of homes in and around Haine date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
Quex Park, roughly 3 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
