Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Ashurst
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The condition of any existing system
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Air source heat pumps in Ashurst, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Ashurst and the rest of West Sussex. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Homes around Ashurst typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Ashurst.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Air source heat pumps in Ashurst: the local picture
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St James, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Ashurst is about 7 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Our engineers cover Ashurst for air source heat pumps and across the rest of West Sussex. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Ashurst among them. The nearest of our city pages is Worthing, around 8 miles from Ashurst.
The closest recent job we can point to from Ashurst was on Nuthurst Road, Henfield (BN5), about 2 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the main living space: a large open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling.
Work in BN44 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Church Lane and School Lane or a nearby road, our engineers can take on the work. Close by, we work in Partridge Green (2 miles north-east), Dial Post (2 miles north-west), Wiston (2 miles south-west), Littleworth (3 miles north) and Ashington (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (14 miles north-east), Horsham (9 miles north), Worthing (8 miles south-west) and Haywards Heath (11 miles north-east).

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will explain what it covers.

Questions from Ashurst
Do you cover smaller places like Ashurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will a heat pump in Ashurst need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Ashurst. 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 needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Ashurst, normally Horsham council).
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before any work starts.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
