Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Midgham Green
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Midgham Green that’s 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.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

FAQs for Midgham Green
Can I fit a heat pump in Midgham Green without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Midgham Green. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask West Berkshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Midgham Green.
Is the heat pump grant available in Midgham Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Midgham Green 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 are MCS certified.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The pipe route between the units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
