- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Tax advice on your own circumstances

About our air source heat pumps in Lychpit
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near Lychpit 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Lychpit: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Lychpit?
Lychpit is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Lychpit within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
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.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Lychpit and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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.
Air source heat pumps around Lychpit
Census 2021 figures found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Central Lychpit is inside the Old Basing Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 67 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Basingstoke and Deane council, normally the planning authority here.
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. The Vyne lies about 3 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Lychpit.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The pipe route between the units
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
