What we are called out for in Felpham
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

About our air source heat pumps in Felpham
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We are often asked to deal with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and ageing boilers that will need replacing, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a house near Felpham, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Felpham
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
FAQs for Felpham
Is Felpham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Felpham permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Felpham is in the Felpham Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Arun council, which is normally the planning authority for Felpham.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Quite possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep radiators clear
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Felpham can be done in one go where possible.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Felpham
Felpham is within about 1 mile of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 42% of homes in the Felpham area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
