Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Barnham
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We’re often asked to deal with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and working out where a cylinder could go, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Barnham normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Barnham around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749.

Leave it or put it right?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Homes in Barnham and heat pumps
The coast is only about 3 miles from Barnham. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 35% of homes in the Barnham area were built in 2000 or later, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Barnham, Luckham Cottage (grade II) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Arun council, which typically handles Barnham where needed.
Homeowners near Barnham station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Older homes near The Parish Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Barnham: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Barnham?
It can. Barnham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will you come out to Barnham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
