Why it’s worth doing now in Crawley
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. For a village like Crawley, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- A reply the same working day
- F-Gas certified company
- One contact for properties across the South East and London
- A 24/7 emergency line

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Crawley
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Crawley, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Crawley.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
System by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. Cooling-only units are not included, so check with the council.
Air source heat pumps in Crawley: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

FAQs for Crawley
Is a heat pump in Crawley permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Crawley Conservation Area, close to central Crawley. 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 the local planning authority (for Crawley, usually Winchester City council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Crawley?
Crawley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
