Questions from Lidsey
Is the heat pump grant available in Lidsey?
Lidsey is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Lidsey?
It can, as Lidsey is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work in Lidsey?
Yes. Our engineers work in Lidsey, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Air source heat pumps in Lidsey, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is moving away from fossil-fuel heating and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Lidsey need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lidsey
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

Heat pumps in Lidsey: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lidsey. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 35% of homes in and around Lidsey have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Goodwood House, roughly 4.9 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Lidsey is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. From the centre of Lidsey to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones. Lidsey is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover. Worthing, roughly 12 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Lidsey, a recent job of ours was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 5 miles west: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area.
Our working area takes in PO22, every street of it. We cover homes and businesses on Lidsey Road and Sack Lane and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Lidsey: Shripney (1 mile south-west), Westergate (1 mile north), Eastergate (1 mile north), West Barnham (1 mile north-east) and Barnham (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south-west) and Littlehampton (6 miles east).

How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Lidsey easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Why act early in Lidsey
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. For a village like Lidsey, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
