Common questions in Chelwood Common
Will you come out to Chelwood Common?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Chelwood Common for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Chelwood Common is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
About our air source heat pumps in Chelwood Common
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a place like Chelwood Common, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why deal with it now?
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. We explain which makes sense for you. For a village like Chelwood Common, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What a heat pump looks like in Chelwood Common
About 43% of homes in the Chelwood Common area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. About 32 miles out from central London, Chelwood Common is part of the South East area we work across.
If your home is listed, like Priest House about 3.9 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Chelwood Gate Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Chelwood Common is about 6 miles north-east of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. From the centre of Chelwood Common to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building.

For landlords and property managers
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 arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What a customer said
“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.”
