How we handle air source heat pumps in Fairlight
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. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old.
Older and listed homes in villages like Fairlight need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Fairlight
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How many units are involved
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Fairlight around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Fairlight
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Heat pumps in Fairlight: local notes
Fairlight lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. Central Fairlight is inside a conservation area. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Fairlight, Grangewood House (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Rother council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. The 2021 Census found about 37% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Andrew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Fairlight questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fairlight?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Fairlight is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Fairlight within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
