Air source heat pumps in Rowfant
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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
For a home around Rowfant that is 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Homes in Rowfant and heat pumps
At about 26 miles from central London, Rowfant sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near All Saints Parish Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Gravetye Manor, about 2.7 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Rented and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
What affects the quote in Rowfant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
To get a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Common questions in Rowfant
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Rowfant?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Rowfant, if they qualify. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is Rowfant within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Rowfant.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote

Advice
What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
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.”
