Air source heat pumps in Bepton, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you are dealing with working out where a cylinder could go and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Bepton is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Bepton so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
FAQs for Bepton
Will you come out to Bepton?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Bepton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bepton is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Bepton?
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Cowdray House, roughly 2.7 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Before you book anyone
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.

From one of our customers
“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.”
