Air source heat pumps in Broadwater, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Cottages and older homes near Broadwater can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.

Homes in Broadwater and heat pumps
Broadwater is within about 2 miles of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. Broadwater’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Broadwater Conservation Area. There are 7 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Broadwater. On the National Heritage List, around 17 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Broadwater; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Worthing council, which normally handles Broadwater. About 44% of homes across Broadwater and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup.
Live in one of the older houses around St. Mary's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Worthing station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Around Broadwater, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Questions from Broadwater
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Broadwater?
Broadwater 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Broadwater within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
