What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
VAT on heat pumps
Please treat this as general guidance rather than tax advice.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Birchett's Green
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Birchett's Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Homes in Birchett's Green and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 42% of homes in Birchett's Green and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Wadhurst Castle, roughly 2 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Radiator systems
- Underfloor heating
- Hot water cylinders
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to Birchett's Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Why it’s worth doing now in Birchett's Green
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

Common questions in Birchett's Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Birchett's Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Birchett's Green is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is a heat pump in Birchett's Green permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Birchett's Green is in a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Wealden council, usually the authority for Birchett's Green first.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you cover Birchett's Green?
Yes. We work in Birchett's Green and the rest of East Sussex, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
