Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hoaden
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
For a home around Hoaden that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What we’re called out for in Hoaden
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
What we’re most often called about:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
If your home is listed, like Goodnestone Park about 3.4 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What state the existing equipment is in
- What kind of system it is
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the trip to Hoaden around you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Ask for a quote

Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Common questions in Hoaden
Is a heat pump in Hoaden permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Hoaden is in a conservation area. 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Dover council, usually the authority for Hoaden.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hoaden?
Hoaden is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Homes in Hoaden and heat pumps
About 37% of homes in and around Hoaden were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Elmstone Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
