Your questions about air source heat pumps in Burwash
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Burwash?
Burwash is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Burwash
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Burwash and the rest of East Sussex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
In a place like Burwash, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Why people in Burwash choose us
- Members of Checkatrade
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote

How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep to regular servicing
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Burwash.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Central Burwash is inside a conservation area. About 62 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Burwash, The Parish Church of St Bartholomew (grade II*) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Rother council) before the heat pump design is finished. About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Bateman's about 0.8 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
