How we handle air source heat pumps in Lovedean
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Lovedean 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.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Lovedean are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Lovedean: the local picture
About 60% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. As an MCS certified installer, we can apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for you.

What air conditioning will not do
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Lovedean
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email.

FAQs for Lovedean
Is Lovedean within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Lovedean without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lovedean. 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 Lovedean, usually East Hampshire council) first.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler does not qualify, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
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’ll take it from there.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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’ll agree what happens next.
For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
