Pricing air source heat pumps in Jacob's Post
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
For air source heat pumps in Jacob's Post, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Jacob's Post
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you are dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Homes around Jacob's Post usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

FAQs for Jacob's Post
Is the heat pump grant available in Jacob's Post?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Jacob's Post, if they qualify. 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Jacob's Post?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Fairfield Conservation Area is close to the centre of Jacob's Post. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Jacob's Post, normally Mid Sussex council) first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Jacob's Post are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Jacob's Post?
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If your home is listed, like Ockenden Manor about 3.2 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
