How we handle air source heat pumps in Keynor Estate
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. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If you are dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
For a home around Keynor Estate that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Air source heat pumps in Keynor Estate: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Keynor Estate is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The 2021 Census found about 74% 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. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Keynor Farmhouse (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Keynor Estate
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether extra work needs your approval first

How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a village like Keynor Estate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Questions from Keynor Estate
Is Keynor Estate within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Keynor Estate?
It can. Keynor Estate is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
