How we handle air source heat pumps in Adur
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and a boiler that’s getting old.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Adur, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Adur.

Common questions in Adur
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Adur?
Adur is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Adur?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. Cooling-only units are not included, so check with the council.
Homes in Adur and heat pumps
The coast is only about 2 miles from Adur. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to St Nicolas' Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Portslade Manor about 3.2 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Adur gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Count every place we list in West Sussex and you reach 371, with Adur on the list.
Not far from Adur, a recent job of ours was on Middle Street, Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43), about 1 mile south-east: installing a marine-grade Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area.
Work in BN43 and BN15 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill and the roads off them are all inside our area. Close to Adur, our area also takes in Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east).

What affects the quote in Adur

- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What electrical work the job needs
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
