About our air source heat pumps in Catsfield
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about ageing boilers that will need replacing and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Catsfield, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Catsfield
Is Catsfield within the area you cover?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Catsfield?
Catsfield is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
What does an air-to-water 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 you get a fixed-price quote.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.

Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
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. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Somewhere like Catsfield, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Catsfield: the local picture
Catsfield’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Catsfield, including The Parish Church of St Laurence (grade II*). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Rother council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Laurence may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Durhamford Manor about 4.4 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
