About our air source heat pumps in Angmering-on-Sea
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We are often asked to deal with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Angmering-on-Sea need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Angmering-on-Sea.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Angmering-on-Sea
Will you come out to Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Angmering-on-Sea?
It can. Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Angmering-on-Sea and across West Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will my radiators work with 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered and need a check with the council.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter and we check what applies to you.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Heat pumps in Angmering-on-Sea: local notes
Angmering-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 59% of homes in the Angmering-on-Sea area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. On the National Heritage List, around 7 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Angmering-on-Sea; Kingston Manor (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor, about 1.7 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near The Parish Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
