Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Air source heat pumps in Sibertswold, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are working out where a cylinder could go and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Sibertswold, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep radiators clear
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep to regular servicing
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Sibertswold: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Sibertswold?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Sibertswold is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Sibertswold?
It depends on the property. Central Sibertswold sits inside a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Sibertswold, normally Dover council).
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
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 though not every home qualifies.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
What air conditioning will not do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
