Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bosham Hoe
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Bosham Hoe, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Keep radiators clear
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps around Bosham Hoe
Bosham Hoe is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bosham Hoe, including Sorrell House (grade II*). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Chichester council) before the heat pump design is finished. About 33% of homes in Bosham Hoe and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your installation or service records
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bosham Hoe
Is Bosham Hoe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bosham Hoe?
Bosham Hoe is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
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, so we check during the survey.
How quickly will you reply?
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 work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
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 while the old heating still works. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Bosham Hoe easier.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- 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.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
