Questions from East Worthing
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in East Worthing?
East Worthing is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to East Worthing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Air source heat pumps in East Worthing, done properly
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 check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We’re often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around East Worthing usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Heat pumps in East Worthing: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, East Worthing is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central East Worthing. About 7 listed entries lie within half a mile of central East Worthing, Beach House (grade II*) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 42% of homes across East Worthing and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
If your home is near East Worthing station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. If your home is one of the older properties near St George's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What happens on the day
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. 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 East Worthing.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive

- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
System by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent and we check what applies to you.
For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
