Air source heat pumps in Corhampton
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If you’re dealing with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Corhampton, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Questions from Corhampton
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Corhampton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Exton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Corhampton. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Corhampton, typically Winchester City council).
Do you cover smaller places like Corhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, so give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange one.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Corhampton
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Hinton Ampner House, roughly 4.4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
What your quote should include
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Diary the next service
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Corhampton.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
