Heat pump installers in Woodchurch
We cover Woodchurch for MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work 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. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Woodchurch.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

About our air source heat pumps in Woodchurch
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We’re often asked to deal with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Woodchurch need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Woodchurch
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What kind of system it is
- The pipe route between the units
- The brand, model and parts involved
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Questions from Woodchurch
Do you cover smaller places like Woodchurch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Woodchurch without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Woodchurch is in 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 necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Woodchurch, typically Ashford council).
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Quite possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
