Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Itchingfield
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you’re dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Itchingfield need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Somewhere like Itchingfield, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
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 brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your installation or service records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Itchingfield questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Itchingfield?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Itchingfield holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. 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 Horsham council, normally the authority for Itchingfield.
Is Itchingfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Itchingfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and property managers
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What a heat pump looks like in Itchingfield
The 2021 Census found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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 Nicolas may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
