- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Bodle Street Green is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air source heat pumps in Bodle Street Green
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 cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. We are often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Bodle Street Green need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Homes in Bodle Street Green and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around St John the Evangelist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Horselunges Manor lies about 4.6 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Bodle Street Green and across East Sussex. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Bodle Street Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:

- The address and the type of property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Common questions in Bodle Street Green
Will you come out to Bodle Street Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bodle Street Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Bodle Street Green. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Wealden council, normally the authority for Bodle Street Green.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
