How we handle air source heat pumps in Coneyhurst
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
Homes around Coneyhurst normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Coneyhurst.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent and we check what applies to you.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures and we look at it during the survey.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- How many units are involved
- What kind of system it is
- How easy the units are to reach
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Coneyhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Coneyhurst?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Coneyhurst?
Coneyhurst 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What a heat pump looks like in Coneyhurst
About 43% of homes across Coneyhurst and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 67% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Coneyhurst, including Blue Idol Quaker Meeting House and Guest House (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Horsham council, which usually handles Coneyhurst.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. If your home is listed, like Old Place Manor about 4.8 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

“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.”
