Sutton Courtenay: your questions answered
Is Sutton Courtenay within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Sutton Courtenay?
It depends on the property. Central Sutton Courtenay sits inside the Sutton Courtenay Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Sutton Courtenay, normally Vale of White Horse council).
Do you work on commercial properties?
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 do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it will not qualify.
About our air source heat pumps in Sutton Courtenay
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
If your home near Sutton Courtenay has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and 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.

Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Sutton Courtenay
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 and that is the appeal for many households.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor, about 3.2 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Comparing quotes
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Sutton Courtenay when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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 are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

How we price air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
