Air source heat pumps in Lodsworth
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If you’re dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, we can help.
Homes around Lodsworth typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Lodsworth
Do you cover smaller places like Lodsworth?
Yes. Lodsworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Lodsworth?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Lodsworth is in England, where it applies. 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.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Lodsworth
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Ask about the grant before you commit
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Homes in Lodsworth and heat pumps
The Lodsworth Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Lodsworth, within about a third of a mile. Historic England lists about 38 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lodsworth, including The Old House (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 43 miles out from central London, Lodsworth is part of the South East area we work across.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Cowdray House, roughly 2.4 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Lodsworth is about 11 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Properties in Lodsworth get the same service as everywhere we cover: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Lodsworth among them. There’s also a page for Horsham, about 16 miles away.
Not far from Lodsworth, a recent job of ours was on Petworth Road, Haslemere (GU27), about 6 miles north: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving the master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the basement games room.
If your postcode is in GU28, you’re inside the area we cover. The Street, Shepherds Lane and The Croft and the roads off them are all inside our area. We also cover Lickfold (2 miles north), Lurgashall (2 miles north), Ebernoe (4 miles north-east), Northchapel (4 miles north-east) and Ansteadbrook (6 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (15 miles south), Chichester (12 miles south), Littlehampton (15 miles south-east) and Emsworth (15 miles south-west).

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Lodsworth, 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.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, 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, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
