About our air source heat pumps in Sprig's Alley
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include checking emitters for a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
In a place like Sprig's Alley, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for Sprig's Alley
Is Sprig's Alley in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Sprig's Alley is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Sprig's Alley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Sprig's Alley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How easy the units are to reach
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Sprig's Alley around you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
