How we handle air source heat pumps in Bowers Gifford
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Bowers Gifford is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Bowers Gifford
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bowers Gifford?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bowers Gifford is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Bowers Gifford?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
System by system
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It can’t be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Air source heat pumps in Bowers Gifford: the local picture
About 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. Bowers Gifford is about 27 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Older homes near Saint Gabriel's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is near Pitsea station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Use the settings explained at handover
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. Visits to Bowers Gifford are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.

Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
