Air source heat pumps in North Holmwood, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Whether a home near North Holmwood has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in North Holmwood can be done in one go where possible.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep to regular servicing
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
System by system
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.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.
North Holmwood questions
Do you cover smaller places like North Holmwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in North Holmwood?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: North Holmwood is in England, where it applies. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
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.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
What we are called out for in North Holmwood
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Older homes near Church of St John the Evangelist may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
What your quote should include
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
