Air source heat pumps in East Ashling
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near East Ashling, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send 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.

Homes in East Ashling and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 33% of homes across East Ashling and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The middle of East Ashling is part of the East Ashling Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of East Ashling. East Ashling House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around East Ashling’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Chichester council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Andrew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in East Ashling
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
West Dean House lies about 4 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Use the settings explained at handover
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
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.”
