System by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Micheldever Station
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding on the outdoor unit position and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
If your home in or near Micheldever Station is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Micheldever Station.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Homes in Micheldever Station and heat pumps
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 8 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Dove Inn (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 41% of homes in Micheldever Station and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we are MCS certified. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Micheldever Station
Is the heat pump grant available in Micheldever Station?
Micheldever Station is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover smaller places like Micheldever Station?
Yes. Micheldever Station 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.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
