What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Crossbush easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

About our air source heat pumps in Crossbush
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is finding a place for the outdoor unit and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Crossbush that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Crossbush
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The pipe route between the units
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Heat pumps in Crossbush: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Crossbush is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 36% of homes across Crossbush and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is near Arundel station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

FAQs for Crossbush
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Crossbush?
It can, as Crossbush is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Crossbush?
It depends on the property. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Crossbush. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Arun council, which is typically the planning authority for Crossbush.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will skipping a service affect the 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.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
