What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air source heat pumps in Aldingbourne, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Aldingbourne typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldingbourne
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. For a village like Aldingbourne, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Diary the next service
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Homes in Aldingbourne and heat pumps
Aldingbourne’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Aldingbourne Church Road Conservation Area. In the mile around Aldingbourne’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 7 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Aldingbourne; The Parish Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Arun council, which normally handles Aldingbourne before the heat pump design is finished. About 35% of homes in the Aldingbourne area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Goodwood House, roughly 3.2 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Aldingbourne and across West Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
