Air source heat pumps in Cousley Wood
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Cousley Wood, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why act early in Cousley Wood
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
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. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.

Homes in Cousley Wood and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 42% of homes across Cousley Wood and its surrounding area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 75% 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. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Live in one of the older houses around Rehoboth Chapel? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle, about 1.6 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Common questions in Cousley Wood
Is the heat pump grant available in Cousley Wood?
Cousley Wood is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can I fit a heat pump in Cousley Wood without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Cousley Wood is a short walk from the Cousley Wood Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Wealden council, which is normally the planning authority for Cousley Wood.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
The process
There’s very little for you to do 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. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Cousley Wood.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear access to the fuse board
