FAQs for Bosham
Can I fit a heat pump in Bosham without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Bosham Conservation Area, close to central Bosham. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Bosham, typically Chichester council).
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Bosham?
It can. Bosham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
Do you work in Bosham?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Bosham included.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bosham
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
For a home around Bosham that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near The United Reformed Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If you live near Bosham station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bosham
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Bosham are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Planning ahead for a job in Bosham means we can bring everything needed.
