About our air source heat pumps in Stone in Oxney
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Stone in Oxney and the rest of Kent. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Stone in Oxney, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.

Common questions in Stone in Oxney
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Stone in Oxney?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Stone in Oxney. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Ashford council, which is normally the planning authority for Stone in Oxney.
Will you come out to Stone in Oxney?
Yes. Stone in Oxney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
