Air source heat pumps in Shover's Green
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, 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. If you’re dealing with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
Homes around Shover's Green normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Shover's Green?
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Older homes near Shover's Green Baptist Chapel may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

FAQs for Shover's Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Shover's Green?
Shover's Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Shover's Green need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Shover's Green sits inside a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Wealden council, normally the authority for Shover's Green.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shover's Green
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Shover's Green.
