Air source heat pumps in Clanfield, done properly
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Homes around Clanfield typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.

What else we do in Clanfield
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Clanfield, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Clanfield
Is Clanfield within the area you cover?
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.
Will a heat pump in Clanfield need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Clanfield holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. 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 East Hampshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Clanfield.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify, among other rules.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What a customer said
“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.”
