About our air source heat pumps in Bognor Regis
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Typical jobs include comparing heat pump types and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In Bognor Regis, an air-to-water system takes over from the boiler for heating and hot water, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant of £7,500 can help with the cost.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

FAQs for Bognor Regis
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Bognor Regis?
It can, as Bognor Regis 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Bognor Regis?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bognor Regis 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What else we do in Bognor Regis
Leave it or put it right?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Planning ahead in Bognor Regis lets you pick the date.
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.

Heat pumps in Bognor Regis: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Bognor Regis is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Bognor Regis and it takes in 4 conservation areas. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary Magdalene? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Bognor Regis station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep radiators clear
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Shops and offices in Bognor Regis do not usually need to close for the work.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, 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 in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
