Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Burgess Hill
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Older homes in a town like Burgess Hill can still suit a heat pump, though some need bigger radiators or better insulation first. We work that out from a heat loss calculation.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Burgess Hill?
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Homeowners near Burgess Hill station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
What your quote should include
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- What’s in the price and what is not
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies

FAQs for Burgess Hill
Is Burgess Hill in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Burgess Hill is part of that. Just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is the heat pump grant available in Burgess Hill?
Burgess Hill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the 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.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
Air source heat pumps around Burgess Hill
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Burgess Hill, you reach the St John's Conservation Area. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Burgess Hill. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Burgess Hill; The Parish Church of St John (grade II*) is one. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Mid Sussex council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. About 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Ockenden Manor about 3.4 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of an existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing in Burgess Hill.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
