Air source heat pumps in East Harting
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If you’re dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like East Harting need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common problems we fix in East Harting
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Uppark lies about 1.7 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Questions from East Harting
Is a heat pump in East Harting permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of East Harting is in the East Harting Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Chichester council, usually the authority for East Harting.
Is the heat pump grant available in East Harting?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: East Harting is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
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 call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like East Harting, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

What else we do in East Harting
What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What a heat pump looks like in East Harting
About 41% of homes in the East Harting area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. 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 Mary & St Gabriel may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
