Yapton questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Yapton?
Yapton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Yapton 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 you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Yapton and across West Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation 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 agreed before we start.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Yapton
We install air source heat pumps in Yapton and across West Sussex, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for deciding on the outdoor unit position and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Older homes around Yapton can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Yapton
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Yapton?
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
For landlords and property managers
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Air source heat pumps around Yapton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Yapton. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 39% of homes in Yapton and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 62% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The Yapton Main Road and Church Lane Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Yapton, within about a third of a mile. Historic England lists about 22 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Yapton, including The Parish Church of St Mary (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (usually Arun council).
The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we’re MCS certified.
