Heat pump installation in Langley, Kent
Our engineers work in Langley on air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
About our air source heat pumps in Langley
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and not knowing whether a grant applies, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Langley, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What affects the quote in Langley
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- How many units are involved
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, 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, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What happens on the day
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. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Langley are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Questions from Langley
Is the heat pump grant available in Langley?
Langley is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Langley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Air source heat pumps around Langley
About 47% of homes in and around Langley have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Langley, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Maidstone council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
With Stoneacre about 1.1 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Langley
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
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.”
