Heat pump installation in Broadfield, West Sussex

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Broadfield
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
For a house near Broadfield, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. Around Broadfield, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit 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

Air source heat pumps in Broadfield: the local picture
About 28 miles out from central London, Broadfield is part of the South East area we work across. The 2021 Census found about 54% of households in terraced houses. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care.
With Tyes Place about 4.4 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Christ The Lord may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Common questions in Broadfield
Do you cover Broadfield for air source heat pumps?
We do: Broadfield falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Broadfield?
Broadfield is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadfield
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
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.
Why book with us
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- MCS certification for heat pump work
