Common questions in Little Chart
Is the heat pump grant available in Little Chart?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Little Chart is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Little Chart?
Yes. Little Chart is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Little Chart and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
About our air source heat pumps in Little Chart
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
For a home around Little Chart that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Homes in Little Chart and heat pumps
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Central Little Chart is inside a conservation area. About 23 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Little Chart, Ice House (grade II) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Godinton House, roughly 2.6 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Why deal with it now?
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

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
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The equipment or parts the job needs
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
