How we handle air source heat pumps in Climping
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and checking whether planning permission is needed, we can help.
Homes around Climping usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Safe owner checks
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.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Air source heat pumps around Climping
At about 1 mile from the coast, Climping is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 41% of homes in the Climping area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. About 9 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Climping, The Parish Church of St Mary (grade I) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (normally Arun council) where needed.
Ecclesden Manor lies about 4.7 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Questions from Climping
Is Climping within the area you cover?
Yes. Climping is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Climping?
It can, as Climping is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Climping.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
