How we handle air source heat pumps in Aldwick
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Common call-outs are for checking whether planning permission is needed and no space for a hot water cylinder, across air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near Aldwick can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Aldwick: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Aldwick?
Aldwick is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Aldwick?
It can, as Aldwick 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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Aldwick.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
Ask for a quote
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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Air source heat pumps in Aldwick: the local picture
Aldwick lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 11 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Aldwick, Hurst Cottages (grade II) among them. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Arun council, which normally handles Aldwick. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 43% of homes in and around Aldwick to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near St Richard’s Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Aldwick.
