Pricing air source heat pumps in Curbridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
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.
Air source heat pumps in Curbridge
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If you are dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking whether planning permission is needed, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Curbridge can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
FAQs for Curbridge
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Curbridge?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Curbridge is in England, where it applies. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover Curbridge for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Curbridge is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it 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 work begins.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

Air source heat pumps around Curbridge
About 53% of homes across Curbridge and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. At about 65 miles from central London, Curbridge sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we are MCS certified.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work 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. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Curbridge.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
