How we handle air source heat pumps in Crosspost
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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
For a home around Crosspost that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Crosspost
Is the heat pump grant available in Crosspost?
Crosspost is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Crosspost?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Why deal with it now?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, and we’ll talk you through it.

Heat pumps in Crosspost: local notes
About 10 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Crosspost, The Parish Church of Mary Magdalene (grade I) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Mid Sussex council, which usually handles Crosspost before the heat pump design is finished. Census 2021 figures found about 60% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary Magdalene's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Ockenden Manor about 3.1 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
