Air source heat pumps in Kimbridge, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Kimbridge and the rest of Hampshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include moving away from fossil-fuel heating and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Kimbridge normally have room outside for a heat pump, 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.

Advice
Kimbridge questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Kimbridge?
Kimbridge is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is Kimbridge in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Kimbridge falls inside our working area. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.

Rented and managed buildings
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Use the settings explained at handover
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Kimbridge
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Andrew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
