What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Middle Stoke, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

How we handle air source heat pumps in Middle Stoke
We install air source heat pumps in Middle Stoke and across Medway, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Middle Stoke usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Homes in Middle Stoke and heat pumps
The coast is only about 1 mile from Middle Stoke. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 44% of homes in Middle Stoke and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Period properties close to Church of St Peter and St Paul can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Middle Stoke
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Middle Stoke?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Middle Stoke is in England, where it applies. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Middle Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
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. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
