Air source heat pumps in Nob's Crook, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and comparing heat pump types.
In a place like Nob's Crook, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Nob's Crook
Do you cover smaller places like Nob's Crook?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Nob's Crook?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Nob's Crook is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.

How we price air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What state the existing equipment is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call 07833 053749.
