Air source heat pumps in Bramber
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and planning and permitted development questions, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Bramber need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

FAQs for Bramber
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bramber?
Bramber is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Bramber need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Bramber Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bramber. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Horsham council, which is typically the planning authority for Bramber first.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
What happens if it’s left?
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.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Bramber
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
After we’ve gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
