Homes in Crockerhill and heat pumps
Crockerhill lies within about 3 miles of the sea. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 53% of homes in the Crockerhill area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Air source heat pumps in Crockerhill
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Crockerhill is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Common questions in Crockerhill
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Crockerhill?
Crockerhill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Crockerhill?
It can. Crockerhill is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is Crockerhill in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Crockerhill, as part of our area across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Why deal with it now?
The two types suit different homes and needs. 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. Booking before summer means the work in Crockerhill is done before the hot weather.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

What we are called out for in Crockerhill
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Comparing heat pump types
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Nicholas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Comparing quotes
- What records you get at the end
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Crockerhill.
- 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’re 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
