How we handle air source heat pumps in Boxgrove
We install air source heat pumps in Boxgrove and across West Sussex, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are working out where a cylinder could go and planning and permitted development questions.
For a home around Boxgrove that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the trip to Boxgrove around you.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

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 on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Boxgrove
The last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The centre of Boxgrove lies within the Boxgrove Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Boxgrove and it takes in 3 conservation areas. About 20 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Boxgrove, The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize (grade I) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Chichester council, which usually handles Boxgrove before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Goodwood House, roughly 1.5 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Boxgrove: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Boxgrove?
Boxgrove 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Boxgrove within the area you cover?
Yes. Boxgrove is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Does servicing affect my 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
