Air source heat pumps in Boarshead, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Boarshead, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
How it works
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Boarshead is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Boarshead
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Boarshead?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Boarshead 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 Boarshead within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Air source heat pumps around Boarshead
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Boar's Head Inn (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
With Groombridge Place about 3.3 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
