How we handle air source heat pumps in Crowhurst
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are finding a place for the outdoor unit and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Crowhurst, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crowhurst
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

The process
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 several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Crowhurst.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Advice
Crowhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Crowhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Crowhurst?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Crowhurst. 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 planning department at Tandridge council, normally the authority for Crowhurst.
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. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the quote form to book it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

What a heat pump looks like in Crowhurst
VOA council tax data date about 41% of homes in and around Crowhurst to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St George may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Chartwell, roughly 4.7 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
