Mystole questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Mystole?
Mystole 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Mystole?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Air source heat pumps in Mystole
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Mystole 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.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. For a village like Mystole, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Mystole Coach House, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 16 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Mystole’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Canterbury City council) before the heat pump design is finished. About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If you live near Chartham station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
For landlords and property managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
