How we handle air source heat pumps in Martyr Worthy
We install air source heat pumps in Martyr Worthy and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
If your home in or near Martyr Worthy 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.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Martyr Worthy questions
Do you cover smaller places like Martyr Worthy?
Yes. Martyr Worthy is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit a heat pump in Martyr Worthy without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Chilland Conservation Area, close to central Martyr Worthy. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Winchester City council, usually the authority for Martyr Worthy.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. 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. For a village like Martyr Worthy, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
