About our air source heat pumps in Flansham
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through 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 the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Flansham, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Flansham
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
To get a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Common questions in Flansham
Is the heat pump grant available in Flansham?
Flansham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Flansham need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Flansham. 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 Arun council, which is typically the planning authority for Flansham.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Homes in Flansham and heat pumps
The coast is only about 2 miles from Flansham. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 42% of homes in and around Flansham date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Bilsham Chapel, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
