Air source heat pumps in Hoe, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are not knowing whether a grant applies and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hoe, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and 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.

Heat pumps in Hoe: local notes
There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Hoe. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Fulvens House (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 38% of homes in the Hoe area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 80% 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. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Hatchlands Park about 4 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Other services in Hoe
Hoe: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hoe?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Hoe is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Hoe?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Improving the building’s insulation
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Underfloor heating
- Radiator systems
- Hot water cylinders
- Air-to-air heat pumps
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Book a yearly service
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Hoe.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Hoe?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Older homes near Church of St Mark may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

A customer’s words
“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.”
