Questions from Crowhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Crowhurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will a heat pump in Crowhurst need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Crowhurst is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Crowhurst, typically Rother council).
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Air source heat pumps in Crowhurst, done properly
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; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Crowhurst is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Homes in Crowhurst and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 36% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St George? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Common problems we fix in Crowhurst
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Historic houses such as Durhamford Manor, about 3.8 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Crowhurst and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit 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. For a place like Crowhurst, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
