Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Lewson Street
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If the problem is finding a place for the outdoor unit and a boiler that’s getting old, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Lewson Street is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What a heat pump looks like in Lewson Street
Lewson Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 35% of homes in Lewson Street and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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. The centre of Lewson Street lies within the Lewson Street Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 18 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). 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 Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common questions in Lewson Street
Will you come out to Lewson Street?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Lewson Street?
It can. Lewson Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Common problems we fix in Lewson Street
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.3 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. For a place like Lewson Street, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Keep radiators clear
- Find out the grant position at the survey
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
