- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Lyndhurst.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Lyndhurst
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If you are dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and planning and permitted development questions, we can sort it out.
Older homes around Lyndhurst can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
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 any chargeable work goes ahead.

For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If anything does not seem right after installation, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Air source heat pumps in Lyndhurst: the local picture
About 40% of homes across Lyndhurst and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of Our Lady and St Edward may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Lyndhurst questions
Is Lyndhurst within the area you cover?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lyndhurst?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Lyndhurst sits inside the Lyndhurst Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Lyndhurst, typically New Forest council).
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
