Air source heat pumps in Maudlin
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Common call-outs are for moving away from fossil-fuel heating and working out whether radiators need upsizing, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
In a place like Maudlin, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, 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.

Common problems we fix in Maudlin
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
If your home is listed, like Goodwood House about 1.5 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Maudlin
Is the heat pump grant available in Maudlin?
Maudlin is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Maudlin permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Maudlin holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. 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 local planning authority (for Maudlin, usually Chichester council).
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Maudlin so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.

Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
