Air source heat pumps in Telscombe Cliffs
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Whether a home near Telscombe Cliffs has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Telscombe Cliffs questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Telscombe Cliffs?
It can, as Telscombe Cliffs is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is the heat pump grant available in Telscombe Cliffs?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Telscombe Cliffs is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Telscombe Cliffs
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What state the existing equipment is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Telscombe Cliffs.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Heat pumps in Telscombe Cliffs: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Telscombe Cliffs. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 42% of homes in Telscombe Cliffs and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Ascension Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Monk's House about 3 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
